This is like the allotted place with required connections in order. Pattern editor.Every component has a particular pattern (footprint) on the PCB on which it is placed. You can even group pins based on their functionality and handle these as a single unit. You can design the component, choose its properties and functioning details.įor chips, you have the choice of different kinds of packages, too. Manage component library, make new components and edit old ones with this editor. Let us now take a look at three features that make the design tool work its magic.Ĭomponent editor. Having seen how you can use DipTrace to design PCBs faster and better, one might wonder how the tool manages to do what it does. Also, with 3D-preview-&-export module, you can see the 3D model of the board with all components installed, rotate it, change parameters to see the effect and export 3D PCB in STEP format for mechanical computer-aided design integration. Numerical control (N/C) drill file that needs to be sent in to the manufacturer can also be generated with just a few clicks. You can even specify details like what components need to be exported to the files, what accuracy is needed and preview to visualise your configuration.

Export for manufacturing.Gerber files for printing PCBs can be exported layer-by-layer or in batches with DipTrace.
