Copying circuits from one pcb design to another

HSID
HSID over 3 years ago

I am using Allegro PCB editor 17.4. Is there a way to copy a circuit from one pcb design to another.

I know I can make a reuse within the design and place a copy of that reuse in the same pcb design. 


But can you copy from one design to another.

If you can, do the ref designators need to be the same. 

Are there any setup involved.

Thanks

    Are you asking if you can use Place Replicate (.mdd file) in a different pcb design than it was created? You can do this but stack-up will need to be the same (i.e. same number of layers and same layer naming) then just copy .mdd file to the location of new pcb design, and Place Replicate Apply the same way as in current design.

    Hopefully this is helpful.
