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

Austin,

two ways to do that:
- Use Cadence Design Reuse: the schematic have to be hierachical. Yu do a module of the replicated block and then place modules in your pcb. Be care that in 15.7 and olders version the module can not be mirored. May be it has been improved in 16.x (never use 16.x yet) 
If modification is done to the module, simply refresh it like a component.
- As you say, routing can be copied. Symbols can be also copied. Then you can assigne copied symbols to ref_des (Logic->Assign Refdes) OR, and this is what i do, place components near the copied area and swap copied symbols (Place->Sawp Components) with placed components. 
If mofdfications is to be done, you have no way to automate it...

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
