Designing - Ultiboard!

Assalamualaikum and very good evening to the readers out there..

Before continuing our lesson on Ultiboard, he test us to carry out another schematic by using different instrument and its was smoothly done  by all of us..

 Then, he continue the lesson on how to use the Ultiboard. After exporting the circuit schematic from the Multisim, it will generated at Ultiboard with the component that has been put on the schematic. Then, He start to teach us on howto design a board, not with the normal one that is rectangular in shape but with different and unique design of board. The design is created by our own using our own creativity.

After using the shape tool here come more complicated part of designing in Ultiboard, placing the component on the board. By placing the component, we now need to route it and check for its error. Its tiring and we need to concentrate because if we dont, then the component located is bad.

Before this, we dont know how to solely selecting the component and just select all the component but he taught us on how to use the panel and use it to place component single and how to modified the wire routed by auto route and fix the DRC...

He then introduced us the jumper for the board that was created separately by using the jumpers.

Green - Connected, Red-Need Modification
That is my board,and as the caption said, the green one is the connected wire one and the red one is need some alteration to make it work. The red will show up in the DRC list.


That the design that was successfully turn into 3D, if there is some problem with the design, the will a popup told that the shape on something lese is out off bound and it will create weird image.

Before i forgot, he also teach us on how to put the component up the board or below the board. There is layer that decide whether it should be up or down. By using this, its to avoid the DRC and make the PCB design more simpler and usable.

That all what i learn from the lesson of Ultiboard. What i can conclude here, to be a designer of a PCB, we need a lot of patient and must be very focus on it. Get involve with the spirit of designing! Thank you.
