PCB Layout CAD : Placing Components

Align Footprint

Align Footprint is a function for aligning Footprints outside the Board Outline according to Components so that they are easy to place.
Because it is possible to execute Align Selected Components only, by aligning before placing components, it is possible to reduce the work time needed for placement.
