![]() ![]() 13: Screenshot of manual routing on Diptrace First we see manual routing, for manual routing, select bottom view and click on route manual button then draw the layout as we want to connect.įig. There are two type of Routing in Diptrace software that is Manual Routing and automatic routing. 12: Screenshot of rotating a component on Diptrace Manual Routing We can also rotate the components if we want to arrange components in a systematic manner.įig. 11: Screenshot of top view of layout on Diptrace There are two side of the PCB that is Top and Bottom, in top we see the components name and details and in bottom we see only pad.įig. 10: Screenshot of more components added to layout on Diptrace 9: Screenshot of renamed component on Diptraceįig. 8: Screenshot of naming a component on Diptraceįig. 7: Screenshot of naming a component on Diptraceįig. To change a name of the components right click on the components and change the name as we want to write.įig. 6: Screenshot of inserting a component on Diptrace To leave a components right click on the screen then next components are get placed.įig. To pick a component left click on the components and drag it onto the screen and drop. 5: Screenshot of Diptrace Software used for Layout Design How to insert component Other windows like SMT, Bridge, can, Capacitor and all other blocks.įig. In that there are components blocks, In general window we find all the components which are generally used for layout. On opening software, the window looks like this. ![]() 4: Screenshot of launching Diptrace from Windows Start Menu 3: Screenshot of installing Diptrace on WindowsĪfter installation, open PCB layout in Diptrace Software.įig. 2: Image of a sample circuit diagram Installing the Softwareįig. Circuit diagram is shown in the below imageįig. ![]() So in this tutorial we are going to make 555 timer astable mode circuit. 1: Screenshot of Diptrace Software used for Layout Designįirst we required a circuit diagram which we are going to make on a PCB. In this tutorial we use Diptrace (version 2.0.1.7) Software for Layout designing, it is a free software and you can download it from Diptrace official website.įig. There are various types of software which are used for PCB designing, In PCB designing first think what is required, a Schematic diagram of the circuit then we have to make a layout by using software and this layout gets printed on the PCB after that Etching, drilling, component placement and soldering are done. There are numerous techniques and standards used to design a PCB that is easy to manufacture and yet small and inexpensive. Usually an electronics or electrical engineer designs the circuit, and a layout specialist designs the PCB. This task has been made vastly easier with the advent of readily available PCB layout software, but it is still challenging. If you wish to copy this component to an existing library, you can save it to a temporary *.eli file and then from another library select “Insert from Another Library…” found in the Component menu.ĩ – If a 3D model was included at the point of download it will be ready to use in your design.The efficient laying out of traces on a PCB is a complex skill, and requires much patience. Ĥ – You will get confirmation of the downloaded part in Library Loaderĥ – Open the DipTrace Component Editor and select Import->DipTrace ASCII (*.asc)… from the Library menuĦ – Select the *.asc file from the “Downloads Folder” which Library Loader has extracted from the downloaded zip file.ħ – Accept the default Library Details and click OKĨ – The Component including the Pattern (Footprint) is imported. Either way, please make sure that you select a folder that it also present under 3D Model Folders in DipTrace.ġ – Search for a part on our or a partners website e.g. Note that DipTrace has default folder(s) setup that can be reviewed by selecting “3D Preview->Patterns and Models Search.” from the Tools menu in the PCB Layout. If you want to review these at any point, you can click the Help link in the same dialog.ġ – Change “Your ECAD Tool” in Library Loader to “DipTrace” and then click Settings.Ģ – Click the browse button to select the folder in which the 3D model files will be copied and then click OK. To prevent these instructions from showing every time you download a part, please uncheck “Show Library Import Instructions” from the DipTrace settings in Library Loader. Please note you MUST have Library Loader V2.41 or later to work with the DipTrace ASCII *.asc files which also include 3D Models. Setting up Library Loader for use with DipTrace
