how do I copy a DEHDL design?

how  do I copy an existing DEHDL design so I can make a second totally seperate design? Library parts can be shared. Also the PCB would need to be copied to a second design.

    Hi Bryan,

     

    So, you've run the Archiver and have a new location for the copied design.

    Now, just change the cds.lib file to point to the company part libraries (rather than the local libraries that were copied as part of the Archiver step) and you should be good to go.

    Also, invoke DEHDL and run Save Hierarchy.
