Replicate Circuits

HSID

Can you create a replicate circuit from one .brd design and bring that into another .brd design

  • Wild

    Yes.

    Create a brd file from a scemeatic set.

    Create an MDD file from the BRD file.

    Use the orginal schematic set in the next design.

    Annotate for reuse.

    Make sure your paths in the allegro are pointing to the MDD file

    BAM - done.

    This of course is very over simplified, been using reuse modules and schematic design used since early 2000's .

    Ok, so this is the process of how I think you are describing it.

    1. Import in netlist from my schemaitc.

    2. Create a replicate circuit (.mdd) and save off to folder location.

    3. Start new schematic, with same circuit as replicate circuit and be sure that the new schematic uses the same schematic symbols name, pcb footprint and same value as the .mdd file

    4. Renumber and Annotate design.

    5..Invoke apply replicate command and search for .mdd file and bring into new .brd file.

    Not sure if I captured your instructions correctly.

    Thanks

    Close but I skipped a bit.

    See these attached pdf's.

    Do a practice run on a small design and see if you can follow this.

    Ok thanks I will work on it.

    YouTube has a couple good vids for this too. Easy and clear. Watch it a couple/few times and give it a try.
