Reminds me. Which packages can do teardrops ? AFAICS only PADS
could, at least of the packages I reviewed.

PCB does teardrops, at least, it does the kind I like (another of my
plugins). I put a page here:

Yes, they look nice.

I suppose there are other types of teardrops, but these solved the
particular problem I had (copper cracking on inside corners during
rework).

I liked tape ups with curves.

You'll like PCB's global puller, at least, when it doesn't scribble
all over your board ;-)

Here's a sample board that uses both teardrops and the puller:

Not using Linux yet here at the moment. I did sample Ubuntu for a bit
but I then had another use for the machine.

How 'intuitive' do you find PCB ? I recenly did some boards using
ExpressPCB and I quite like it's 'almost manual' approach. It was almost
a bit like tape-up with aids which suited my needs for a simple job very
well.
