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.

Finished PCB

Schematic converted to a PCB for the double LED flasher circuit.

Prerequisites

The previous Tutorial: Create a schematic design](schematic-tutorial.html) is complete.
Design you created in the Create a schematic design tutorial is open in the Schematic workspace.
