I am only all too familiar with this shortcoming in the Cadence tool.
I was away using the expedition pcb tool (mentor) for a few years and
they also include gerbtool in their collection. I talked with the
gerbtool people and they said they were trying to get Cadence to
include their tool also. I guess they have failed so far. I finally went
out and bought the low end gerbtool ($600) and it fills the hole
nicely. It would be nice if Cadence included it, but it is pretty cheap
to buy, comparatively speaking, of course.

I know Mentor does panelization. However Mentor cannot do AB type panels... at least natively... you have to go to Valor to do this.
So why is Allegro so behind in this area of PWB technology?
I know, I know, wonderfull routers... sigh...

We just had a query about this last week. There are no panelization tools in Allegro (at least none I know of). Normally I, and I think many of us, use the board house to panelize our designs. If you really wish to do the panelization yourself you should get a gerber editor such as Gerbtool. It will have all of the tools necessary to create whatever panel sizes and configurations you need. Good luck, Kevin McCowan Sr PCB Designer TSI Telsys
