[PCB_FORUM] Re: Is there a way to step and repeat placement for identical circuits on the same PCB?

Hi Austin

I just copy the copper with the parts and move the copied section off the 
board.  I then move the ref-des's away from the copied circuit, and start 
placing real parts over the top of the copied footprints.  When finished, 
delete the moved ref-des's as symbols, and all the copied symbols will vanish.  
The copper will assume nets that the correct components have on their pins.  
You might have some issues with shapes, you will just have to assign the nets 
manually.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have four identical circuits on one PCB.  I want to place (and route) one,
and have that placement and routing replicated for the other three identical
circuits.  Is there a way to setup a placement "template" or a way to
replicate the placement?  I know the routing can just be copied.

Thanks,

Austin
