Changing the board size on an existing layout

Rico Suave

 Hi,

 

I am new to this community. I have a question in regards to what the easiest way would be if you take and existing layout ( 6-layers, components placed, traces routed, planes established) and have to make the board smaller than its original design. I created the new card outline, but what about the existing design, Route Keepin and planes. Is there a better way than to ripup the whole design and start over?

 

Thanks,

Rico

    Thanks for your answer Chad! I have decided to start over after I was made aware of more changes. I created a new file, setup my board outline with Route Keepin and Package Keepin. The problem I run into now is that once I re-netlist the design from the previous old board (changes were made) and open in up in my newly created board outline, it places the old design back into the new file and the new board outline is gone. Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?

     

    Thanks
