Not a direct automatic way to do what you want, but it's fairly easy to do manually.
Make your design as normal, and save it. Create a new board to the size that suits your manf. to get the most area. Then import your design from the file import menu to this new board. Use the copy block function to fit as many copies as you can get onto the new board. Don't forget once you have placed two units, you can then duplicate the two units and place two at once. Then you can place 4 and so on. Andy On Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:36:42 -0000 "bbt5001" <[email protected]> wrote: > New user here, coming from a gEDA background.
