Hello,
I'm looking for a good way to resize a PCB.
I'm using the PCB Board Wizard to generate the initial size.
All the hints point to using the reshape function with which you have to draw a new shape for the PCB. I think this is a very unconvenient way to do it.
I actually want to keep using the PCB Board Wizard.
It seems not to be possible to redraw a board with the wizard.
What i've just tested is create a new PCB file using the wizard with the new dimensions. The select all on the old PCB file and copy it.
Then past it in the new PCB file. This works but netlists are not copied.
So then i use the "import changes" function to import the changes from schematics. This seems to be importing all nets and everything looks OK.
Is this a good way to resize a PCB? Are there any caveats? Are there better ways?
