Quadcept : Creating Footprints

Extra: Drawing Dimensions

With Quadcept, it is possible to automatically create footprint dimensions for when creating footprints and designing PCBs.

If the automatically created dimensions are not sufficient, you can add them manually. Refer to Dimensions.

Drawing Dimensions
This is a function for automatically creating component dimensions.
Using this function, dimensions are automatically created for component pad size, pad interval, and "Assembly" of the final outline.
(1) Select [Create PCB]
=> [Create Component Dimension Automatically]
=> The "Create Dimension Automatically" screen will open.
(2) Configure each setting and then click "OK"
  Dimensions will be created automatically.

 

Create Dimension Automatically Screen

Auto creation of dimensions is also possible when multiple footprints are selected on the PCB screen.
When multiple and different shapes are selected, auto creation will only be performed for the target location.
