Remember, you need to specify a footprint in the Attributes of each part. You probably can find a footprint in the Pcb Footprint Libraries that is close enough so that you can modify it, as necessary. You can use the same footprint of the copied part, use a different footprint in the Pcb Footprint Libraries or create a new Footprint.
Or you can copy parts from other PCB Libraries to your PCB library and edit it. Once you have done this you can copy parts from other schematic libraries to your schematic library and edit it. You can create your own Schematic and PCB libraries within your Design Data Base. There are two Libraries - Schematic and PCB. Some parts are not in the Protel Libraries. You will need the BJT.Lib and the Simulation Symbols.Lib in the SIM.ddb for the Protel Tutorial. Add the library to your list by highlighting the library that you want to add and the by clicking Add Library to List and close the Find Component Dialog. Libraries that contain that part will be listed. Select Tools, Find Component produces the Find Schematic Component Dialog: If you are looking for more generic parts like capacitors, connectors, and resistors, enable By Description and put in connector, for example, and click Find Now. Click on the part and you can see its general shape in the window below the parts list. If you are looking for capacitors, put in *cap* in the Filter window and enter. You can scroll down the list of parts in that library. Click on the part library of interest and put in * the Filter window and Enter. If part is already in a library in your library list, click Browse Schematic tab on the left of your screen. Select Tools, Find Component produces the Find Schematic Component Dialog: If you know a few characters of the part like a 4011 nand IC, enable By Library Reference and put in *4011* and click Find Now. Fill screen: Select View and Fit Document Set general preference: Select Tools, Preferences, select Default Primitives tab, enable Permanent (on the right side) Set styles: Dbl Click on the new schematic, select Design, Options, select Sheet Options tab, set style under Standard Style and set orientation Select Edit, Rename to change the filename (do not change the extension) In the New Document dialog, Click on Schematic Document Click on your Document Folder in your database Database File Name: Type in you Product Name Set Design Storage Type: Select, MS Access Database We will see all this section in detail first of lets Start form scratch.
PCB artwork: in this section you have to decide the place or the components and also draw a connection line between components Schematic Design: in this section you have to draw the interactive Circuit diagram.įootprints: as you are going to Draw the layout of the PCB you must be aware with the Component size and according to that you have to place the outline of the particular component. There are Main Three Parts when you are going to design a PCB Well Protel is a very good tool for the PCB designing here I am going to post a introduction and basic function tutorial for you people after this tutorial you will be familiar with the PROTEL. To create a smarter, safer, and more connected world.
