![]() After getting the components more or less to their correct locations, I then draw a board outline (after adjusting the grid to a slightly fines 2.5 mil pitch). Sorry for that!

You probably notice that at some points of the video, the popup-menu options go outside the recording area. The only issue is that it’s online only, which is an issue for some people. Westfw: Altium Circuti MAKER is free and has better capability than any Eagle package. ![]() The fear that prices will go up so I wouldn’t be able to continue to upgrade, while my old versions stop working, is pretty substantial).
