I had to try panelizing a PCB the other day, as I had to connect all the power and GND lines upto a main connector on the panel, so that the boards could be assembled on the panel, powered up and tested, as well as burn-ins B4 breaking the individual circuits from the panel. I tried to do it

While I'm following this thread I'm playing with some new thoughts I caught for panelizing a PCB within Protel. Anyway it is really hard work and much easier to let the PCB house do it for you. However, what do you folks think about an input to Protel for the requirements for a panelizing server

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

A few things to consider... After doing all the editing and work-arounds required to panel within Protel, are your going to be able to get a clean DRC? Do you really want to do that amount of editing without one? What are you going to do when its time to rev the design? Are you being paid by
