Mike, In my previous response I misunderstood your question. I had it the other way around, going two boards into one. Oops, sorry.
Like the others posters are saying, keep the one schematic, add connectors to existing nets, and route the traces right across the cuts. I think you can ignore DRCs just for those from-tos. Be sure to have copious notes on the fab drawing explaining what you want of course. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 10:27 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [PEDA] Splitting a design to two PCBs > > > Hi all, > > I need to split a design that is presently one pcb into two. > I will have to > add interconnect connectors, etc. Can this be done more > readily in the > gerber phase by cut and pasting two different board designs > into one?
