Linking schematic to predefined board size.

#1 Post by WA2SQQ » 05 Aug 2022, 04:22

So I’ve completed the schematic capture process. I have also figured out how to to create a custom sized board. How can I associate the schematic with the board size I createD? I assume it would require some sort of auto component placement?
Thanks in advance!

In the PCB Layout program, with your PCB outline visible, select File->Renew Layout From Schematic->By Components...
Select the schematic and click "Open" in the file dialog.

That should import all of your parts to your layout. Next, arrange the components inside the outline.
