Summary

A Draftsman Board Fabrication View is an automated graphic composite of the PCB project's unpopulated (bare) board, as viewed from the Top or Bottom. The drawing data is sourced from a specified physical board layer, and polygon copper fills canbe displayed as solid, hatched or as simple outlines. Its drawing representation and data sources are all configurable in the Properties panel.

Availability

Board Fabrication Views are available for placement in a PCB project Draftsman document from the Draftsman Editor as follows:

  • Choose the Place » Board Fabrication View command from the main menu (Place Board Fabrication View).
  • Click the button on the Active Bar, located at the top of the workspace.
  • Right-click in the drawing workspace thenselect Place » Board Fabrication View from the context menu.
  • Click the  entry on the Drawing Views toolbar (View » Toolbars » Drawing Views to enable).

Placement

After launching the command, drawing data is retrieved from the source PCB file, the cursor will change to a cross-hair and the rendered Fabrication View is attached to the cursor. Move the cursor to the desired position then click to confirm the placement.

Note that drawing data is retrieved from the PCB document specified in the Source section of the Properties panel when in Document Options mode. To change the panel to that mode, deselect all objects in the workspace (click in free space).
