Brigitte, You might consider PanelMaster 2.1 . Runs well on Windows 95/98/NT. Provides for rotations within the array, rotations of the array with your production panel, complete flexibility for image stepping (rout profile versus v-score or combinations thereof) and places assembly rails on any number of sides/any size (when configuring palletized arrays). You can also create templates that automatically subtract plating theiving and tooling hole locations so as to yield a net usable area, and the software prints panel/array views complete with stats of percent usage. Did I mention it's inexpensive? If this hits the spot try: STS (Southern Technical Sales) PO Box 500037 Atlanta, GA 31150 tel: 770.390.0203 fax: 770.390.0913 Cheers!
