As above, this is a recipe for disaster, joints will be under pressure, capacitors will likely already be cracked.
Either remove some of the laminate or make the enclosure bigger (the prior is easier).
I would not turn a blind eye to this, I have redesigned a complete PCB before because it was...
Polarity for a resistor?
I just want to measure across 2 pins of a connector that has a 390r resistor in it to ensure that its the right value.
As much as that would be easy with a meter I cannot add a meter to the expensive fascia on the test set.
I'm in a bit of a pickle with this lol
HI, many thanks for the suggestions.
What I have forgotten is to say that the rest of the tester is running at 24v DC, using 24v LED's.
There is 24v fed to one leg of the resistor as that goes into a connector, the other leg is wired back to another connector
so I can measure across both legs...
HI, I am trying to build a cable test set that an apprentice started for his college project, it's got a fair bit of money sunk into it already so it's a shame to just
stop and throw it away so I am finishing it off.
So anyway, one of the cable tests it does is to check for the presence of a...
Always use the centre.
This allows best rotation and pick and place file output.
If you use pin1 then the assembly dept will have to first figure out which is pin 1 then adjust the origin to the centre for the placement machine.
ISTR that CADSTAR cannot display pad numbers for all pads, although if you hover the mouse over a pad it does display it.
You have the option "first pad" to change the colour of pad #1, this is in colours/highlights and should apply for both the design editor & viewer.
Most of the methods mentioned I have been able to do in Cadstar by Zuken, including the wire stitching as you call it (Cadstar calls them jumpers).
However I am sure that all these manufacturers are not using Cadstar, ISTR Philips did.
They change their tools from time to time (retaining a seat...
add another node onto that net or remove it for now.
is the guard ring going to be connected to mounting holes?
If so make a part that has a symbol and component for the mounting holes and connect them to the net.
Make alternative components for different sized mounting holes, some with plating...
OK I'm going off memory here, its been a few years.
What version of CADSTAR is this?
First thing I would do is stop doing exactly what your doing.!
There is an error where an assignment has lost it's name (its blank) and the editor was not programmed for this instance.
Open the symbol only...
Generally the manufacturer will recognise that your trying to make a slot and use a router bit in that position.
You could always draw it as the correct size/width line on a separate layer and call it "slots" as a Gerber, identify plated/non plated slots by different layers/files.
I'm not even sure that there are courses in basic PCB layout available.
Generally what you can get is application specific, how to use that application courses.
Yes I think your right, I cannot see how to convert a shape into a cutout of another shape - but then I have not used it for 3 years.
Cutouts must be wholly within the outer line and both be closed shapes.
As for the shapes, have a play with "Trim/Merge" on the net/shape tab.
When it does not...
draw an area for the outside shape.
draw a cutout, select the area and then draw the inner shape.
Shift select it to confirm that its all 1 thing.
choose the properties, select the layer on.
To keep copper out it will be a no routes area.
However, that also means you cannot have routes within...
