This sounds obvious, but it would be nice if there were mention in the PCB page of the size of the PCB.

Either that or put the dimensions of the pcb on a pdf.

Any size infomation would be of advantage for us folks that have to make our own PCB's.
As I say, it sounds obvious, but this must be the tenth time I have measured my board so I can scale the image properly in GIMP (I cheated and used the PCB off the pdf) ready for transfer to print.

Yes, this is obvious and I apoligize for overlooking it. I'm on vacation right now without access to a PCB to measure it, but perhaps Andy can give you a quick measurement off of one of his PCBs. If I recall correctly the measurements are 0.7"" x 1.5"" or 18mm x 38mm.

Something that may be of help is to download the free ExpressPCB application and open up the files directly to get the measurements directly from them.

Also, I did create an actual size PDF file at the following link for Ben. It doesn't have the actual measurements, but when printed it should be the actual size of the PCB you can use for comparison.

Next week I'll look at better documenting the PCB files with this information. Also, if it helps I can create other formats for the PCB files such as high-resolution bitmaps.
