Make Board Paneling GUI

  • Object Definition: Define the object to be duplicated.
    • Component: Include components placed in PCB data.
    • Except Component: Exclude duplicate components. Exclude components can be specified in the String Filter Set Up dialog.
      Figure 1.
    • Route: Include Route in PCB data.
    • Board Figure: Include Board Figure in PCB data.
    • Board Outline: Include Board Outline in PCB data.
    • Keep original board’s data: Keep the original board outline of PCB data without deletion when the Board Outline option is not selected.
    • Selected Area Only: Specify the PCB data area to be duplicated.
      • Select Rect: Select the rectangular area as the duplicated area.
      • Select Area: Select a polygon area as the duplicated area.
  • Placement: Define where the duplicated objects are placed.
    • Mirror: Create the duplicated original PCB data by mirroring.
      • Mirror X: Mirroring the board based on the X axis.
      • Mirror Y: Mirroring the board based on the Y axis.
        Figure 2.


  • Rotation: Create the duplicated original PCB data by rotation.
    • Rotation Angle: Enter the angle to be rotated. The rotate direction is counterclockwise.
      Figure 3.


  • dX/dY: Define the X and Y coordinates where the duplicated PCB data is placed. The origin coordinate of the original PCB data is used as the reference point.
  • Object Select: Automatically calculate the movement coordinates by selecting the pad of the PCB data and the pad of the Bare Board Gerber (Metal Mask) data in an array.
    • Cad Object: Select the reference pad on the PCB design data.
    • Gerber Object: Select a pad object that matches the pad selected in CAD data.
    • dX/dY: Define the X and Y coordinates where the duplicated PCB data is placed. The origin coordinate of the original PCB data is used as the reference point.
  • Array: This function is used when the duplicated data is to arrange with the same distance and angle.
    • Column Spacing: Set the Vertical spacing of the sub-boards using the spacing value.
      • Count: Set the number of sub boards to be duplicated in Vertical directions.
    • Row Spacing: Set the Horizontal spacing of the sub-boards using the spacing value.
      • Count: Set the number of sub boards to be duplicated in Horizontal directions.
    • Preview: Preview of information set in Placement.
    • Apply: Apply the information set in Placement.
    • Initialize: Revert the applied result to the previous state.
  • After Complete Paneling, Remove Gerber Data: Delete the Gerber layer after completing the array paneling in the case of using Gerber data.
  • Define Panel Outline: Set the margin of the panel outline.
    • Left/Right Margin
    • Top/Bottom Margin
  • Rounded Corner: Set the corners of the panel outline to be rounded or chamfered.
    • Top Left/Right
    • Bottom Left/Right


    • Line Width: Specify the width of Panel Outline.
    • Get Panel Outline from Gerber: Designate the line selected in Gerber data as the Panel Outline.
    • Apply: Apply Panel Outline information.
    • Initialize: Revert the applied result to the previous state.
    • Export PDF: Move the applied Placement information and the defined Panel Outline information to the Export Settings window.
