Unbelievable. 
Thanks for update. 
Takes skill to deal with 0402!

The autorouter was only kinda useful to me on one really dense digital board, and I never renewed that option when I upgraded.  I have never gone beyond six layers;  I mostly do 4 layers, but sometimes 2 or 6.

I have the final non-subscription versions of photoshop and illustrator as well, so bite me Adobe.  This subscription software stuff really pisses me off.

Best prices I have found (though I sometimes get hit with a 25% tariff fee).  Variety of soldermask colors avail (some cost extra).  I like red, blue, and black -- the yellow is gross.  Arrays are easy.  Routing and V-groove not too costly.
