For example, if the Top Overlay is displayed in the Design View and the Top Overlay is configured to display tracks in Draft mode for that output in the Output Job, then the Top Overlay tracks in the Design View will also present in Draft mode. Note that the primitives on layers used in the Design View continue to obey the display settings defined for that layer in the Print dialog. The Design View retains its own layer visibility settings in the output allowing it to present as required in the printed/PDF output. Including a Design View in Printed or PDF Outputĭesign Views are included in printed and PDF output. When enabled in the Properties panel, the desired layer(s) will display the icon. In the Layers section of the Properties panel, click (toggle) the icon to enable the display of the desired layers.Use the Define button in the Properties panel to interactively define the area of interest.With the Design View selected in the design space, open the Properties panel by double-clicking or right-clicking then choosing Properties from the context menu.When this option is enabled, changes made will affect only the object being placed and subsequent objects placed during the same placement session.Īfter placement of the design view, you can define the display of desired layers by performing the following steps: While attributes can be modified during placement ( Tab to bring up associated properties panel), keep in mind that these will become the default settings for further placement unless the Permanent option on the PCB Editor – Defaults page of the Preferences dialog is enabled. Press the Alt key to constrain the direction of movement to the horizontal or vertical axis, depending on the initial direction of movement.Click the design space pause button overlay ( ) to resume placement. Press the Tab key to pause the placement to access the Design View mode of the Properties panel from where its properties can be changed on the fly.Position the design view in a suitable location then click or press Enter to place it.Īdditional actions that can be performed during placement while the design view is still floating on the cursor and before the design view is anchored are:
Right-click in the design space then choose Place » Design View from the context menu.Īfter launching the command, a design view will appear attached to the cursor.Click Place » Design View from the main menus.AvailabilityĪ Design View can be placed in the PCB Editor in one of the following ways: It can be placed anywhere in the design space and scaled to any size. The PCB Design View object is a graphic snapshot of any rectangular-shaped region of the current board or another board. Place a Design View to show a specific area of the board.
