    Hi Lucas,

     

    For your first issue, if I understand you, you want to bring two

    separate board files into one board file.

     

    This can be done by opening the source board, turning on all layers,

    group select all items and cut. (Cut = Copy)

    Next in the same control panel open the destination board and paste the

    contents into the board. You will of course not be consistent any more

    unless you do the same with the schematic also. Identical reference

    designators may be a also problem.

     

    For your second issue, it sounds like the panelize ULP would help you.

    If you just copy and paste Eagle will assign new reference designators

    to the pasted components. Panelize places the reference designators on

    new layers which you output to cam instead of the regular layers.

      This I usually do with a copy of the board as consistency is lost.

     

    Of course if you want new reference designators cut and paste should

    work for you.

     

    Your English is pretty good, Keep at it.

    Better than my Portuguese I'm sure.
