Place Replicate Module Is Not Including Route Keepout Areas

Roger BFS

Hi All,

I am trying to use the place-replicate feature to create some fairly complex multi-symbol modules with precise placement and routing on a multi-layer board.  I want to include a set of route keep-out areas on inner plane layers to void the planes underneath sensitive pins and signal routes.  I have created the master module and updated it to try and include the keep-outs, but it apparently doesn't work.  When I select and move the module to a different location, the keep-out areas stay put where they were.

Any ideas how to accomplish this? Otherwise I'm looking at many hours of tedious drawing!

I'm running PCB 16.6 (Hotfix 043, before I let my maintenance lapse).

Thanks in advance,

Roger

    Once you have the modules in place (you'll hopefully know the x / y spacing between them so just use the Copy command. In the Options pane there is a Rectangular copy mode option that will allow you to copy items to several locations based on x / y co-ordinates. You can also use the RMB - Snap Pick to - Object type if they aren't on even pitches.
