Grouped vias not replicated
myamigo opened this issue · comments
The sample project in Replicate_GND_Vias.zip includes a seed region consisting of 4 test pads, which define the seed bounding region for replication. There is a GND plane under the whole work area. There are a total of 24 isolated GND vias in the seed region that need to be replicated in their entirety to two other areas.
By default the GND vias that our outside the seed bounding region are not included in the copies.
This is fine if we can handle another way.
I thought I could create a group that included the some of the vias inside the seed region as well as all of the ones outside the region so the group intersects the seed region...
... then the replicator would include those grouped vias if the "Include group items" option was enabled...
... but it does not 😞
IIRC anchor footprint should be in the same group as the items (tracks, vias, zones, text and drawings) that you want to replicate but are outside the bounding box.
Ahhhh! That makes sense thank you.
