HB PCBs are not suitable for "PROFESSIONAL" boards!

The general purpose of HB PCBs is prototype testing. Or low volume hobby 
stuff.

Doing "PROFESSIONAL" boards is a very complex process.

I did PC layout as a part of my job from 1960 until 1998.

I don't use FREE PCB development tools. I use ORCAD for Windows.

I have done PCBs with as many as 12 layers. But not with hobby level tools!
