Mirror Placement Replicate on the same layer

michielqpi

Hello,


For a design I use a couple of the same circuits. In the schematic they are drawn as Hierarchical blocks. The circuits consists of a BGA with some resistors and capcitors. For the first circuit I use Place replicate create. Afterwards for some circuits I use Place replicate apply. Now I need to mirror half of the circuits on the same layer. For Example BGA U1 has resistor R1 placed on the left side. The placement of BGA U2 needs to be mirrored so that resistor R2 is placed on the right side. Can someone explain how to?

With Place replicate apply I can rotate and mirror the placement to an other layer, but I can't mirror it on the same layer. Maybe there is an other function that I don't know about?

    Hi oldmouldy,

    I know it sounds weird, but the BGA is build from the same kind of "blocks". Those BGA's need to be connected to an other BGA that is placed in the centre of the design. The routing and other components are placed in such way that it's more "crowdy" next to the last column and first row and less crowdy next to the first column and last row. This way there is more room next to the BGA in the centre.
