     Umm, thats not the type of breadboard I am talking about.  See,
     this
     project is meant to be an introduction to electronics for total
     beginners.  So it should be easy/fast to build and modify the
     circuits.
     So the breadboard I am talking about is the type where you push the
     pins of the components into little holes (organized as 100mil grid)
     to
     get them connected.

   I realize you are doing a different type of breadboard but the
   **idea**
   can be modified to your type of breadboard by changing the arrangement
   of the pads.
   Pads having the same number are considered connected. Take a row of
   square pads
   (all the same pad number) and connect them with thin rectangular pads
   (all the
   same pad number) and you have a connected row. Draw a silkscreen
   rectangle
   around the row of pads and you have a picture similar to a bread board
   row.

   You can't create open hardware with closed EDA tools.
