I am designing a couple of boards (if successful more than 2) that have the same "form factor". That is they are the same physical size and both (all) have fingers to plug into a card slot on a mother board. So I don't have to worry about registration of the fingers each time I come up with a new board, is there a way I can define a PCB template that includes the fingers? That seems like it would be hard to do since the fingers are a connector on the schematic and wouldn't line up right without some tricks. The other option might be if there were a command line to PCB that I could execute to tell it "put pin 1 of conn1 at X, Y". Or would it be best to have a template that has a target in silk to line the fingers up?Make a board with only the connector loaded, at the desired position. When you would like to lay out a new board, copy & rename the "template" file, renumber the connector, then run gschem2pcb. It will make an additional .pcb file that you can then "load layout data from file".I'm open to the simplest solution.
