Many designers try to panel a board within Protel. It can be done but it's
messy and I don't recommend it unless you are trying to put different
layouts into one panel to save fab costs.
If the purpose of your panel is for economical assembly, use a panel
drawing, or incorporate the panel drawing into your fabrication drawing. To
do this, simply draw and dimension your panel with instructions for your
fab house to step and repeat your CAM data.
