[kicad-users] Panelisation

2008-05-21 Thread oecherexpat
Is there a way of doing a panelisation? I have to create 3 PCBs on one
panel anyway and thought it would be a good idea to save the money and
do the whole panelisation myself. Would also give me a better respond
time to our PCB manufacturer who always wants to have done something
in a different way ;-)

I know people who use Circad or Eagle and do things like this with a
script but a simple block copy that keeps component designators (most
important!) would be good enough.

Any way to get that done?

You might want to try pcbnew File-Append_Board. I think that's how I've
done it in the passed.
