Schematic design

Every electronic design should start with a schematic, documenting the logic and functionality of the design. You can generate the associated circuit board at any time with a mouse-click. Electronics then changes to the Layout Editor, where the packages are placed next to an empty board, connected via air wires (thin yellow lines indicating point to point connections). From here you can go on designing with the Layout Editor as usual. Schematic and layout are automatically kept consistent by the Electronics Workspace (Forward&Back Annotation). Schematic diagrams can consist of a maximum of 999 sheets. On the left side of the Schematic Editor window the preview of the sheets is displayed.

The Schematic Editor is also applicable for drawing simple electronic wiring diagrams (connection schemes, contact plans, and so on).
