PTC has a tool called Harmony.It can do this. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Salberg To: Cadence User Group Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 8:14 AM Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Construct single entity out of individual line sements Hi all, In Allegro, is there a way to construct a single entity out of individual line sements? Such as board outline segments. Also, is there a way to "Z copy" or copy "non-etch lines" to another non-etch layer? Z Copy wants Clines, shapes or closed polygons. Current work around is to copy all lines to another location, then Edit>Change>Lines to another layer. Than move it back to the original location. I just want to copy in the same location. Thanks, Mark
