To Gary Allen,

We have panelized some of our boards also and use the PCAD software with no 
problems.  We use the same method as stated by John Burton, so I don't think 
it is a problem with the software.  We do however discuss what we want with 
our board vendor so as to optimize the panel for our assembly process.  Not 
knowing how you specify your step and repeat drawing I'd guess right off 
that's where your problem is.  Check with your people who are doing the panel 
routing to get their inputs as to the problem they're having.  Also discuss 
with the board vendor the problems you are having, they usually do this for 
more than one company and may have a process better than the one you are 
specifying on your drawing.  Communication is what it will take to fix your 
problem.
