Agreed. Did the same thing a while ago on one of our usual horribly mixed-signal board (seven different supplies on four layer, big loads and tiny transducer voltages; about 13 pages of A4 schematics) for a rebuild of our component library; fabricator is happy since he hasn't to fix during panelization, boss is even happier, since it worked at the first power on :D Actually it seems that our (man-hours) investment in kicad is more effective than one (euros) in a conventional license (be it altium, orcad or some more expensive package). Now on the work a blackfin board for image processing (camera onboard). Hope to fit in 4 layers:P Also using kicad for production work helps dislodging bugs (obviously version control helps when a more stable version is needed:D) > At the time we go nanometer internally: > > *) the board files will actually be in millimeters.
