Good morning all, I have a small problem and can not figure out how to solve it. Here is some background. We have received marching orders to send all of our Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) out of house to be built. It is to be done in Minnesota now. We must supply this vendor with all updated data files as well as an updated assembly drawing. We must include a view of each unique dash numbered assembly in the assembly drawing. We have instituted the use of variants in our designs to help facilitate this. That part is fairly easy. Here's my problem. I have a CCA with a -001 and -002 assembly. the -002 is the current active assembly. The -001 was inactivated about 2 years ago and is not built any more. However, we have some of these boards in the field, so we must document this configuration. These two dash numbered assemblies are different. The -002 was made to incorporate design changes. I need to bring in a copy of the old -001 and drop this view on a sheet of the assembly. Mentor will only allow a design to have one board geometry. Is there any way I can convert the -001 board, with components placed, into a generic or other type of geom? At the moment I am creating a generic unique geom for this -001 assembly by tracing the outlines of the board and components and putting these lines and arcs on layer drawing_1. This is very tedious and time consuming. If this was to be the only board that would need to be done I would not ask for any help; however, there will be many more just like this. If anyone has some suggestions they will be greatly appreciated. Dave <<...OLE_Obj...>> Honeywell David M.
