"Components"

Over 35,000 components are stored in a SQL Component database. There are no libraries. Components can be found by names, descriptions, manufacturers, distributors, parameters and various other attributes.

The principle of package drawing


NEW: Package generator including 3D view

An electronic component in TARGET 3001! consists of three main parts:

The component administration is managed in the component data base. Further element of a component is one or more Simulation models. Components can achieve an unlimited number of properties to be used in several internal tasks. In the PCB Layout a package needs to be placed representing the electrical tasks of the schematic symbol (e. g. DIL14 or SO14). There are multiple options to search/find a part.

Layout View of the above IC. See the outline of the package in black. This will come out as the position print as it by default is defined on layer "21, Position print". Blue is the pattern of the soldering landmarks (pads). They are meant for layer "16, Copper top", which by default is preset in color blue. It is a SMT-part, often being mounted on the assembly side, "Copper top". If you want to have it upon the soldering side (layer "2, Copper bottom") you only need to mirror it. The pads then will be displayed in red, the default color for "Copper bottom". Sure you individually can set the colors of each layer.

Every schematic symbol in TARGET 3001! has a package proposal. You can use it or opt for a different one. you can use any matching package from the libraries/database. During being imported each component gets an individual number. A component can have the name e. g. IC17, R8 and a value (CD4000, 4k7) each can be shown either in schematic or in the layout.

You will be able to add a 3D-Model to your part or modify an existing one.
