Ok, here we go!
Step 1, Prep a panel PCB document, in the that PCB document, disable online
DRC.
Step 2, save all your different PCBs to a second stage file before you copy
& paste it to the panel PCB.
Step 3, on all the second stage file PCBs, in the menu ' Tools -> Convert ->
Explode Polygon To Free Primitives '
Perform the 'Explode...' to all your polygon planes on the PCB.
Step 4, under ' Design -> Netlist Manager -> Menu -> Clear All Nets... '.
Perform steps 3 & 4 for all your second stage PCB files & save them.
Now, copy from the second stage PCB files & "paste SPECIAL (duplicate
designators)" into the panel PCB document as many times as you like. It
will paste so quickly, you can go mad. And, the Client99.exe out of memory,
or, contineous bonging error will no longer appear. I've just managed a 10
megabyte PCB panel with ease...
Good Luck!
