about pyaedt cutout （hfss3Dlayout）

[Roy-debug-hub]

How can I use pyaedt to cutout a pcb layout and generate a new design in the project?

Hi @Roy-debug-hub , the cutout can be performed directly from PyEDB. Please check this example:

Thanks for your reply, now I can cut and export a design from a project as an aedb file, but how can I add my cutout aedb file as a second design under the original project ? note: here is the main code I use
`from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss3dLayout
ADET_VERSION = 2023.2
NUM_CORE = 4
NG_MODE = Flase
origin_pcb_path = './PCB.aedb'

h3d = Hfss3dLayout(
project = origin_pcb_path ,
version = AEDT_VERSION,
non_graphical = NG_MODE,
new_desktop = True)

polygon = [
[-4000, 400],
[-500, 300],
[-500, 4500],
[-4000, 4500]
]

h3d.modeler.edb.cutout(
custom_extent = polygon,
custom_extent_units='um',
output_aedb_path = './pcb_cut.aedb',
open_cutout_at_end = True,
preserve_components_with_model = True
)`
