Cadsoft's Eagle Layout-Editor

I have (over five years) and it does, it's just that it has always been all three modules together. I don't think there's a way to download and use only one module using the freeware license, you get all three.

Yup.

Thanks!

I suggest to post that same question on the Eagle support forum (news.cadsoft.de). Mostly you'll get a direct answer from Cadsoft staff.

It used to be that you could pick each module and the size of it. So conceivably one could buy a low cost one-page schematics package and the full-blown layout package. Or vice versa in my case since I don't do layouts. But you'll have to check whether that is still the case.

What you are trying to do is possible. You can do the schematic (a single page!) in the freeware version, switch to the board layout, save the brd file, and continue working with the Standard version. However, you will loose back- and forward annotation, i.e. if something changes in the schematic, it's difficult to keep sch und brd in sync. I wouldn't do it - it's not worth the hassle.
