Hi All,
I'm looking for a way to develop a template of sorts. I reuse the same footprint for a small board for prototyping, and it has four or five components on it common to every board I make. I would like to make a template so that each time I develop a new board that uses this prototyping layout, that these four or five components are automatically placed and assigned the proper net names (think of this board as an interface to a backplane). This way, I can start right away adding my circuitry from DEHDL or DECIS, and when I export to PCB Editor, the design is ready to start placing my additional components.
What's the easiest way to do this? I'm fairly new to Cadence tools, and had a way of doing this in my old software.
Thanks!
