Creating Reuse Module
Netlisting in Capture
After performing the front-end preparations for reuse flow, netlist the designs and create
or update the board file (.brd) for these designs, followed by creating the reuse
module.
1. Open bot1.dsn on which you have done PCB Editor Reuse annotation.
2. Choose Tools -- Create Netlist.
3. Check the Netrev option to Create or Update PCB Editor Board. This will create
bot1.brd in the allegro folder at the design location. Alternatively, you can
create the netlist and then import it into Allegro PCB Editor.
Creating Reuse Module in PCB Editor
1. In Allegro PCB Editor, place the component and do the routing.
Now create the reuse module.
2. Choose Tools -- Create Module. When you click Create Module, a message asks
you to select the component. Select the required area on the board.
