Well, back in the old days, when printed circuit boards were designed with mylar, tape and an X-acto knife, one usually worked with a large piece of mylar, 2-4 times the real size and had the design photo-reduced using a precision lithography camera. There are probably some printed circuit houses that still have the equipment to do it in your area. Getting the size down to something scannable probably isn't that expensive. Much easier than trying to do it yourself in segments. John Glenn Saunders wrote: > > Regarding the chip plot, it is large, maybe 4-5' square.
