Greetings Protel users, Scenario: Schematic design heavily based on complex hierarchy for duplicating certain parts of the design. Sort of like a stereo system with a left and right channel. After the design is flattened, every part gets it own designator and it's ready for PCB layout.
Can anyone suggest a method for replicating the PCB layout (relative placement, tracks, vias, polygons, etc.) for these parts of the design which are identical except for the designators and local net names ? I know I can select, copy and paste part the layout. The copy will have incremented designators (default), or it may have duplicate designators too. But how can I synchronize this PCB layout copy to the duplicated schematic (say, the left channel) without having to manually rename the designators, which is prone to errors. Thanks in advance for your comments. David __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
