Are you looking to do a step-and-repeat to place multiple copies of the same board onto the panel or do you want to put different layouts onto the panel? Step-and-repeat is very easy to do with simple edits to the Gerber files. I'll post a description and example files a little later today. First I'll have to figure out where I parked those files. :=) For merging different layouts onto a panel, I don't know if KiCad has that capability. I always use ViewMasterEZ from www.pentalogix.com for doing that. (ViewMasterEZ is a Gerber Editor that's available for about $50. It works very much like their free ViewMate Gerber Viewer but adds a lot of features for editing.) Regards, Bob
