How to arrange my board design based on the A4 page size

Hello:

I wanna arrange ten board designs on A4 page.

How to adjust the board design coordinate and put the ten designs on the same page in the pcb editor.

    Eliver Castro: Hello, I do not wanna make the Module instance name as prefix name. I have to give a Module instance name before I add a board module. This Module instance name will become a prefix name in front of the originally component name. for example, R1 will become G_R1("G" is the module instance name I give). Is there any way to shield or delete this name? Thank you for your attention.

    Good day.

    As from your query there is no other way to delete the prefix name since every net and component must have unique identity in a single board data for logical connections otherwise it will create errors.

    I think your problem now is the componen's silk and assembly name to display?

    If that is the problem, there are other ways to display the these refdes same as from the base data.

    Eliver Castro:

    Yes, you are right,

    My problem is how to display silk and assembly name identical with base data.

    Could you tell me how to do this?

    I will throw in my 2 cents worth.  If this is a simple step and repeat of the same circuit, it is a lot less work and probably easier for everyone involved if you let the board shop do the step and repeat.  We have always done that here.  We supply the board outline with the step and repeat dimensions, any break-offs, mouse-bites, etc. and they will do the rest.
