1. Arrange PCB components less than the designated area
2. Customize the shape of the PCB board
Note: The input method must be switched to the English input method. Only in the English input method, when drawing the line on the board, you can use the shortcut keys to move the arc or right angle.
3. Select the components in the PCB in the schematic and control them in the designated area
- Select the device in the schematic, and then click the menu bar:Tools—>Select PCB device. (Or after selecting the device, press "T+S")
2. Jump to the PCB interface and select the components together. Press T+O+L again to draw a frame.Or click the "Arrange Devices in Area" in the figure below in the menu bar
3. The component has been planned to the designated location
4 Cross selection mode
Preface: When you draw the PCB, is it difficult to distinguish the resistors and capacitors between each module and other components, then through the cross selection mode of AD, we can quickly distinguish the layout between the various schematic periods, which is more convenient Seeing the packages and devices between each module is a great artifact we draw
- When your mouse clicks or selects the device on the schematic, the corresponding device package on the PCB will be highlighted
- When your mouse clicks or selects the package on the PCB, the corresponding device package on the schematic will be highlighted
