Summary

"CAD for PCB" covers the basics of CAD-Computer Aided Design in development of PCB. The course presents techniques and methods for placement, routing, and optimizing the PCB. The last part is destined to CAD-CAM systems for post-processing, Gerber/Excellon files generation, and interfacing designer and fabricator. The CAD area is based on OrCAD and supports all the phases of the design process: design creation, placement of footprints, routing of traces, post-processing, and inter-tool communication.

Below is offered a "zip" archive of the complete "CAD for PCB" tutorial. After the download the student shall find four Powerpoint course modules.
