Is there a way (a tool etc..) to use the portions of a gerber/layout file? For example, in my schematic tool (Orcad), I have hierchial blocks which I endup using over and over in differnt designs. The advantage is that I don't have to recapture everything again and again... But I don't know how to do this in layout... If I have already laidout and routed a portion of the schematic, I would like to be able to use that portion over and over without relaying it out and routing each time I use that circuitry. Is this possible?

Any help or hint would be appreciated.. BTW, I use orcad layout.

Thanks - jeff
