Duplicating my *.brd design in the same layout area

e14 Contributor

Hi,

 

I have a layout design that is about 2cm X 2cm.  I am ready to send in

my design for the PCB manufacturer to produce the PCBs.  Although this

is just prototyping, I would to maximize the PCB usage, which is

required by the PCB manufacturer to be of minimum size of 5cm X 5cm.

 

Basically, I would to make use of the 5cm X 5cm board to have two of my

2cm X 2cm design in it.  The PCB manufacturer won't do it.

 

So, my only chance is put TWO of my design side by side in the same

layout, that is, same *.brd file.  How would I duplicate the same design

with in the same layout?

 

Thanks!

    Please tell me the vendor image I am using www.seeedstudio.com at

    http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/fusion-pcb-service-p-835.html?cPath=185

     

    $10 (US dollars) for 10 double-side 5cm x 5cm PCB boards.

     

    The problem is that they won't cut for me. Since I will be cutting them,

    I might as well maximize the space usage; otherwise, I can fit my boards

    on a breadboard or the casing. image

     

    But, I am interesting knowing the vendor you use.

     

    Thanks.
