Tutorial: Create a PCB layout

The printed circuit board (PCB) layout process is both an art and a science. If you give a schematic to 100 different engineers, you’ll probably get 100 different PCB layouts back, all with unique twists.

In this tutorial, you start with a schematic design, and create a PCB using the following steps:

• Defining the PCB shape.
• Placing components.
• Routing the connections.
