Changing the board size on an existing layout

Rico Suave
Rico Suave over 11 years ago

 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

    Hi

    You can use EDIT-->VERTEX option to reduce/increase the outline.

    Eg: If you want to reduce the value by 10mils,then select EDIT-->VERTEX and type in the command line as bellow

    ix 10    (For horizontal)

    iy 10     (For Vertical moment)

     

    Regards
