COPY [tName-25] to [tPlace-21]

autodeskguest

Hi,

 

Situation:

-

My colleges and I, we work on numerous proto PCBs at the same time, when it

is time to send the Gerbers to the boardhouse, I collect 4-5 or even more

different kind of PCBs to the same sheet to get it done fast and cheap, this

way we save lots of money and I have all the new PCBs back in few days, test

can be done very quick. This is nice and flawless.

 

Problem:

-

When I start pasting the individual boards to the final proto sheet (all on

one), their logically connected part designators get automatically

renumbered, because there can only be one (for example) R1 or C1 in a single

design.

 

Currently, when copying to the logical assignment

stays linked with the component.

Is there any existing method or script to break this logical assignment

between the copied (converted) tPlace and the component, so it could be

multiplied without auto-numbering the part designators?

  • I have a ULP called "Panelize" that might help you do what you want.

     

    By the way, what are you doing for surface mount stencils?
