..and this is simply wrong. Most eagle users are complaining aboZ ut a not so tight coupling between the schematic symbols and the footprint (which you can change in the schematic editor or in a program called cvpcb) and this is a entirely different thing. > > > Do you want to know how eagles UI feels from my point of view? yes .. but from far away. :-) > > It's a well known disaster for newcomers.

Nevertheless, I don't think that I want to push you to use KiCad, but you _really_ should change your attitude about it. This isn't really playing stuff for kids anymore.. simply watch some of the youtube videos explainig that push and shove router, that is a really nice thing I don't want to miss anymore. For sure you will find out that KiCad isn't eagle, but it never wanted it to be.. Regards, Holm -- Technik Service u.
