Arrays in gerbmerge (or others)

Community PCB Design

I see in the “to dos” for gerbmerge there’s a line: “# Implement simple primitive for panelizing a single job in an array”

Does that mean its not yet possible to array a board with a single design using gerbmerge yet?

If it is possible how would one go about doing it?

If not is there another low cost (free) way of panalizing a board in an array?

by array, do you mean same art repeated (aka step and repeat)?

if so, just do a relative manual layout and repeat the same job multiple times.

Yes, repeated, as if you were going to stuff it via pick n place.

I figured it out using a layout file!

10x10 grid:

Row {
  Col {
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
  }
  Col {
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
    Proj1
  }
(8 more times)
}

works goood
