Replicate layout: Action plugin

Hi @MitjaN .This kind of functionality is really needed, thanks for what you’ve done. I have this under work:

You can guess I don’t want to replicate 10 channels manually. There are also 3 MCUs which could basically be replicated, right now they are laid out differently - mostly because their layouts are not important. For me there are two important requirements, not only for this but other older designs, too:

  • Possibility to update in-place
  • Possibility to keep several groups, i.e. different layouts for the same hierarchical design (here two groups, half of the channels are mirrored)

Anything else is pretty much worthless. I haven’t tried the Replicate layout plugin, but from what I have read it looks like it doesn’t fulfill these requirements, am I correct?

If you are interested, I have some ideas about how such functionality could possibly be implemented without huge amount of work and code.
