Combining two boards in Eagle?

Lovan · 19th April 2006, 12:18 AM

Hello

I have two brd-files I would like to merge to make one PCB.
They will not make electrical contact but I would like them to be on the same board.
Is there any way to do so in Eagle?

Yes, and it's quite simple.

Use the group tool to group everything you want to copy. Then click the cut tool button (little scissors graphic) and click where you want the center to be. Now close that board out and open up the one you want to paste the cut design into. Simply click the past tool button (little stick with glue on it graphic) and you'll see that your cut design is attached to the cursor. Position it where you want and click to paste it. Viola, you have two designs on one board.
