Allegro - Tip of the Week: Copy Shape to Different Layers

PCBTech

By now, many of you have used the Z-Copy command to copy shapes across layers. Consider a more robust option that involves first selecting a shape (Shape > Select Shape or Void/Cavity) and then using the right mouse button to access the Copy to Layers command. Select the target class and subclasses and then consider the options at the bottom of the form: Create dynamic shape and Retain net. Do not forget to click the Copy button before clicking OK. It can be an oversight sometimes.
