allegro 16.2 pcb editor new feature -1 器件对齐和块复制

spb 16.2中包含了器件对齐和复制功能，我以前一直使用本论坛中下载allign_sym的skill来实现的。

In the SPB16.2 release of Allegro PCB Editor, there are two (2) new very helpful features (among the many others) that assist PCB designers with component placement - Component Alignment and Placement Replication.
Component Alignment
You can now specify a Vertical or Horizontal alignment of symbols based on their body center.
There are no associated options.
The feature automatically attempts to determine the axis to align.
You'll be prompted for a direction (Vertical or Horizontal) in ambiguous situations.
The use model requires the pre-selection of all symbols to be aligned.
You can hover over an anchor symbol then right mouse button (RMB) – Align Component.
This is a single-sided application.

Now the parts are aligned -

Placement Replication
This is an application designed to replicate common blocks of circuitry.
Based on common device and connectivity model.
No Front End dependencies other than net list.?

The process begins by establishing an initial “seed” circuit.
The Place Replicate Create function is then used to create a .CRF file with origin point.
The CRF (Circuit Replicate File) can be stored in the board DB or on disk for re-use on other boards.
The PCB Designer then applies a .CRF to selected group of symbols.
The Place Replicate algorithm generates common circuits if matches are found.
Available on cursor for placement.
Placement Blocks are represented as a Group Object in the Allegro database.

As always, I look forward to hearing how you're using these new features and any recommendations you may have.
