single PCB design into a large PCB with multiple single board designs

I know this has come up many times in the past but I was wondering if

anyone has come up with a solution. I have designed a 4 layer PCB, I now

want to take eight of the exact design of that PCB and put it onto a larger

board. I really do not want to reroute each of the 8 since they would be

the same. I know you can not group and copy because of circuit duplication.

Anyone know of a way around this?

Hi:

try "array_board-v5.zip" available in ulp download area.

Hi Maurice,

I did try the "array_board-v5.zip". I did everything in the instructions

but kept getting a "parse error". Tried everything I could think of but

could not make it work. I thought it might be the board I was working on

so I tried a simple 2 layer board but got the same error. "NBR_MODX,

NBR_MODY and give them the appropriate *  value" is this the distance

you want the boards spaced? I also tried panelize.ulp but could not get

this to work either.

Sorry:

there was a small mistake, a missed ";" at end of line, it was corrected and

uploaded, now it's "array_board_v51.zip".
