I have a Gerber file set which contains 2 different boards. Is there a demo video which can show how to separate the boards?
1. This is a sample movie showing how to separate the boards:

Note: You can also use a feature called Convert to Job... (menu: Tools | Convert To | Job...) where you just select the board and enter the name of the job. It does most of the steps in the above demo automatically.
2. Here's me showing how to copy the daughter board several times (just using the FAB 3000 insert feature).

Note: You can always just use the Copy command (select daughter board and go to menu: Edit | Copy, select the first point of displacement, and then enter the second).

3. Lastly, just to be fancy I show how you can panel multiple PCB together onto one panel using the FAB 3000 Panel Wizard. First I separated the daughter board to a new job (using clipboard cut/paste). Cleaned title blocks and excess data from the main board, and then ran panel wizard.

Note: All these features can be perform by using FAB 3000 Designer. For a listing of the features FAB 3000 Designer can perform, please view the following:
