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

Mike,
You might simply add the mating connector pair to the schematic, and run
all required signals through both connectors. No net name changes needed.
Everything else is done in pcb layout. You end up with one board design
which is designed to break in two. You would wind up with some traces
Mike,
I might be tempted to not do anything to the schematic at this time
besides add your two connectors. Add two connectors to your nets and route
the nets as normal. On your board, route the nets right across the split or
leave a gap along the score or break line. Then when you want one
Mike,
It sounds like what you want is simply to combine the current boards onto
one panel. This is easy to do at the Gerber stage using CAMtastic. You can
also add the scoring or routing information and dimensions at that point. I
would avoid messing with combining schematics, there would likely
