Easy layout drawing


General

A layout is the binding construction plan of a PCB. In TARGET 3001! it can be edited with or without a schematic.

The expressions layout und PCB or PCB view are often used synonymous in TARGET 3001!, because the same module is meant. The layout is edited in the PCB view. For reaching the PCB layout view in TARGET 3001! click this icon: GotoPCB.jpg
This icon appears in any schematic view. You also might use the [F3] key or the [Shift]+[F3] key. A simple PCB layout might look like this:

By the use of the default settings you see:

Pink: the PCB outline (layer 23)
Blue: the tracks and soldering pads (footprints, landmarks) of the components on the copper top side (layer 16)
Black: the top side position print showing package outlines (layer 21)
Black: the top side component names and values(layer 21)
Brown: the drills for mounting holes, THT components and vias (layer 24)
Red: the tracks and soldering pads (footprints, landmarks) of the components on the copper bottom side (layer 2)
Cyan: the bottom side position print showing package outlines (layer 7)
Cyan: the bottom side component names and values (layer 7)

Layer functions as well as their colors can individually be set.
