copy and paste ground plane ultiboard 11

I am trying to copy and paste a design to make multiple copies of the same circuit design on one pcb, then cut them out myself to reduce cost during prototyping.  Everything seems to copy over except the ground plane.  The ground plane will copy over to one more image but when I try to add a third it takes the ground plane from the second.  Any advise?

I assume you placed a powerplane, which does get "confused" with open board outlines - which I assume is what multiple board outlines would look like. I think if you manually place a copper area it might work.

Alternatively, use a gerber tool (my fav is FAB3000 http://www.numericalinnovations.com/downloadnow_fab3000.html) to panelize.

That gerber tool sounds like the perfect solution!  I`ll give it a try.

 

Thanks again,

Bill
