Just thought I'd point it out in case anyone didnt' know. Noticed just now when uploading.

Off topic, but your post made me wonder...  How do you like KiCad?  After spending so much time in eagle I am hesitant to take the plunge but the board size and layer limitation even for the cheap paid license is so restricting.

I tried it for about 30 seconds a couple years ago. So I really don't have an valid opinion on KiCAD.

Ha, well that is super helpful 

Maybe one of these days I'll give it a try.

I can tell you that at the time, I thought it was clunky and non-intuitive. But so is Eagle, so I think it comes down to what you learn first or what is the first one to "click" mentally.

I've been meaning to get really get into DipTrace, but when I have some specific job to do with a layout, I always end up using Eagle because I already know how to use it and I have tons of customizations to my library.

Momentum is clutch.

I need to give KiCad a try myself.  I need to be able to export in Gerber format
