If you dont have the harmony couldnt you generate an artwork with a photoplot window around the item, then

after creating the artwork file you could load artwork and place it on the class/subclass that you wanted. I believe

this way it would construct a single entity. Also....in 15.5.1 I tried to construct this similar shape using four arcs

and four line segments, it snapped them all together into one contiguous shape. Isn't this a new feature for 15.5.1 ?

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
