Hi all, 

I have a project with 3 small (about 8 sq inch) PCBS. 

A set of PCBS for a unit consists of 2 of one type and one each of the
others. 

Volume is low and my board house makes fixed charges for plotting and
screen set ups which represents a fair part of the cost for say a batch of
10 sets. 

One of the PCBS really needs to be 4 layers, 4 layers would be nice on the
others. 

I am thinking of making a panel with a set of 4 PCBS on it whch to the
board house looks like one plot/screen charge and a bit of extra routing. 

Any thoughts on the best way to do this? 

I am a bit worried about just copying into a new PCB file. There is
obviously no valid netlsit for the set and I am worried about plane
connections which are automatically derived from the netlist - is there a
danger these will be lost or screwed up? I don't need annotations so
component renaming is probably not an issue. 

At the moment I am thinking of merging gerbers with Camtastic but not sure
what problems I will run into. 

Any advice? 


Cheers, Terry.
