Design conceptualization Every electronics design starts with an idea.

Welcome to Fusion Electronics , a cloud-based platform that provides a comprehensive set of tools for electronics design.

The following image shows (1) the electronics drawing browser node structure and (2) electronics drawings and related views and tables supported across multiple drawing sheets.

Electronics layers are organizational tools that help you manage different parts of your PCB design.

Electronics documentation refers to the drawings and documents that are created during the design and manufacturing process of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).

The Browser is a panel like other content in the Electronics workspace. You can dock it, leave it floating, or tab it with other panels (see Electronics persistent panels).

Adjust your electronics preferences to design in ways that are efficient for you.

The Fusion electronics libraries contain the components you need to create electronics designs.

The Electronics design document is the primary (umbrella) document that manages the synchronization between the schematic, 2D PCB, and 3D PCB documents.

The Electronics Library Manager is your central place to browse, search, and manage all component libraries available in Fusion Electronics .

The Errors panel is found on the right of the design pane and enables you to see and resolve errors in your design.

The terms defined below are commonly used in Electronics and the Help.

Much of the work you do in Electronics happens in panels that can be found on the left, right, and sometimes bottom of the Electronics design frame.
