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

    I made an assumption that you are using Allegro for board design, if not, then I don't have an answer.  If you are, the only way I can think of that possibly happening is that when running the packager you are specifing an input and output board file.  I would just run the packager and then from within your new board file, import the logic (netlist).
