copying circuit boards

2003-03-03 by dg140@freenet.carleton.ca

I suppose there is no easy way to copy circuit boards to make new ones? 
I'm working with a few devices which are now in cut-out limbo, so I'd like
to make more PCBs for them.  It'd be nice if some photographic or
"photocopying" technique existed whereby one could simply make a copy of a
PCB.  As it is, must I draw it out, do the foil pattern, etc, or possibly
draw  it out in something like OrCAD, and have PCBs done up that way? 
These are not too complex double-sided boards, about 5*6 inches.  Any
ideas as to how long it can take to redo them on computer so a shop can
make a batch?
