Blueprint for "layouts as parts"

 

Heyho,
I've created the blueprint [0] we've started to discuss in the "Next
Steps" thread. Comments are welcome :).
The blueprint partially supersedes [1] & [2] due to the fact that Pcbnew
will make it way easier to create panelized boards by hand and the
overhead to create the schematics for the whole board is now minimal.
(1. Add sub-sheets, assign the correct schematics, 2. select the correct
boards in CvPcb, 3. move the boards next to each other (without the old
hassle to select the whole board, move the already panelized boards out
of the way before appending the next one...)).
Bye,
imp
