Question

[peter408]

We have a board that a mojority of which is 12 identical circuits (other then different control lines). We have it set up in OrCad Capture so that we can update a hierarchical block and it makes identical changes to the other 11 identical sheets. My question is if there is a way in Allegro to update one circuit layout and then automate the update to the other 11? Is this a Skill type of thing?

12 identical circuits ,makes identical changes to the other 11 identical sheets.

after updating one circuit layout:
1.File->Export->Sub Drawing. pitch on the first circuit layout(only include clines and vias).then in command line ,"Pick clipboard origin point" , input x 0 0, save
2.measure the distances of the 11 circuits to the
first circuit . note the coordinates (compared to the first circuit layout)
3.File->Import->Sub Drawing.select the file you saved before.
then in command line"Enter Point",input x * *
"* *" is the coordinates you have noted.
