Multiple PCBs in Single BRD File

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Any pointers for creating multiple PCBs from a single .brd?
We need a solution that works for both Allegro and Specctra.

Problems we've run into are:
- allows only 1 Board Outline
- allows only 1 Route Keepin

Only solution we have so far is to encompass all designs and draw Route Keepouts in all areas to create separations.

Suggestions appreciated.

    Hi Dave,

    I've never done multiple boards in one database, but I can see your issue. But, I think what you're doing is what I'd do. I think you're heading down the right part.

    I don't see the "One board outline" as an issue; but the one "Route Keepin" is. But using the Route Keepouts is what I'd do.

    GD,
    Mitch
