We let our board fabricators do the panelization for our boards. Typically we'll put the information about how we want the boards panelized on a separate layer like layer 20 or right on the drill drawing layer (24). The info we put includes outlines, dimensions, number of pieces, rotation, number and location of toolings holes and fiducials, any special copper features required for alignment/registration, custom test strips, required cutouts etc.

Hi pinki patel,

If you have a small PCB you can copy it into PADS Layout. The problem is that PADS doesn't copy the board outline (however you can duplicate it using 2D Lines).
The very big limitation to panelize a job is that all components REF-DES are incremented! But il you have not need of silkscreen layer may be this solution pleased to you.

Save your job before!
