If you have set all parameters, the footprint-wizard creates the footprint and you can place it on your layout. These parameters are displayed and explained in a little picture in the footprint-wizard.Īll changes that you made will be displayed in the preview immediately. You can specify the footprint-type and the parameters and the wizard creates your footprint automatically.Įvery footprint-type has different parameters. The footprint-wizard helps you to create special footprints for components. With a single click you get access to any board of your project. So you can add all boards of a project to one file. The layers can be switched on and off whenever necessary.Ī Sprint-Layout file can contains several boards. Optional there are 2 inner layers (for multilayer PCB's) and ab outline layer (for the outline of your board) available. Sprint Layout offers - for both sides of the board - a copper- and a silk-screen-layer. The autorouter is as simple as the whole software. You don't have to make obscure specifications and options. The autorouter in Sprint-Layout is designed as an easy to use autorouter. To create a proper layout, you have to design it mostly by yourself. The autorouter was not designed, to generate whole boards at once. These two points are defined with a connection (rubberband). This autorouter is able to connect two points of your layout. There is simple point-to-point autorouter integrated in Sprint-Layout. With the 'x-ray' feature you can make the board transparent, so that you can see the other board-side shine through. You can select which board-side do you want to view and display or hide the silk-screen.
This helps you to find typically mistakes like wrong mirrored components or text. The photoview lets you take a look at your board as if it was already manufactured, with drillings, silk screen, etc. You can also define thermal-pads on the automatic ground-plane. You may also use this function to create a screen for HF-boards. This accelerates the corroding process and saves corroding material. This function fills unused areas of a layout with copper automatically. This makes it possible to place your components in the best manner. You can rotate all components or elements in any angle. You can even sort and group the library, so you can create your own library. You can add as many components as you want to the library. After that you can mirror, rotate or label them like you want. You can easily drag&drop the components from the library to your layout. The component-library is already filled with many commom used components. are self evident.Ĭomponents which you have drawn once, can be added to the component-library. Additional functions like copy, move, rotate, mirror, etc. For example if you adjust the width of a track, you will see the result immediately on your layout. You can edit existing layout-elements very easy. The active grid-capture lets you easily place your elements exactly. are always visible at a glance, and can be edited every time. All parameter like track-width, pad-size, etc. Just select the corresponding mode and place your elements. Sprint-Layout is equipped with tools to draw pads, tracks, copper areas, labels and so on.
With the free viewer-software for Sprint-Layout it is possible for everybody to view or print your layouts.
You can load all older layout-files and edit them with the new version. Of course the new version 5.0 is fully compatible to all older versions of Sprint-Layout. As always, we take very much care of an user-friendly operation.
The new version 5.0 includes many new features and improvements, which makes the software more comfortable.
Sprint-Layout is also able to create HPGL files for isolation-milling. If required, you can export your layout to the GERBER and EXCELLON format.
If you want to produce professional boards, there are many PCB-manufacturer, which accept Sprint-Layout files. Of course, there is an extensive library with all common components included.įor manufacturing your PCB's by hand, there is an excellent printout-procedure with many options available. Sprint-Layout offers all needed functions to design your own layouts. So finally, you can concentrate to the essential thing: Designing and optimizing your PCB-layouts. Because of the logical and understandable strucure of Sprint-Layout the usage is very easy to learn. There is no unnecessary 'ballast' which makes it difficult to keep the overview or which makes the usage almost impossible. With Sprint-Layout you can design your PCB's quick and easy.
