PCB Editor - Replicate / Create

TH Designs

We used this command in training class so I know it works...........

I'm trying to use it on a new design. I have four "rooms" and the associated components "quick placed" into those rooms. In one of the rooms, I have placed the parts in the order I want them.

According to the instructions I have, in placement edit mode, select the placed components, hover over one of the selected parts and RMB. The pop up menu should have the "place replicate create" option, but mine does not. I get a menu with "align components", "unplace component", "show rats", etc....... No replicate option.

What am I doing wrong? Like I said, I used this command in training and I'm following the instructions we were given.

    You could use File>Export / Import >Sub-drawing then assign the references with Logic>Assign RefDes, OR Export Placement with File>Export>Placement, this gets you a place_txt.txt, edit this for the "other" references, as required, the File>Import>Placement, parts will need to be "unplaced" to get the co-ordinates applied.
