cadstar tutorial
Hi All -
I'm taking a look at the new CadStar Express that is freely downloadable from Zuken. This is a 300 pin, 50 component, smaller libs version, but otherwise the same as the full version.
It comes with a nice pdf tutorial with links to flash videos on the Zuken site to show how to do things. Very nice. But it doesn't *explain* some things
For example, on the first board, it tells you to create a board template by selecting the board outline, the duplicating the shape and assigning it to the bottom elec layer. Why do you have to do this ? Why duplicate the shape, and why the bottom layer ?
It tells you to do things, but not *why* and what the reasons are
So, are there any other tutorials for Cadstar around ?
Thanks
