Does anyone have any recommendations to panelize some GCODE?
I made a PCB in Copper that works well, so now I want to make 8 of them at the same time. This would be a nice feature to add to Copper at some point.
Not really.
You could dupe the core of the file 8 times, and wrap it up w/ G92 or some other coordinate system change to put the copies in the desired locations.
Alternately you could use one of the tools at: https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/G-Code_Utilities to shift it appropriately.
Thanks…there should really be an easier way to do this.
I couldn’t get the code to simulate properly with the added G92 commands, so I did the shift-copy-paste method.
Used JavaScript G-Code Translate, Scale, and Rotate to shift it over 3 times by 20mm. This is the only online utility that would take the size of the file that I had to shift.
This will save a lot of time since I have a tool change and I will only have to autolevel once with ChiliPeppr to get 4 boards at a time.
