Guides

Goal-oriented recipes that walk you through one workflow at a time. Each guide assumes you already know the basics and just want to get a specific job done.

How-tos

Export for fabrication — produce the Gerbers, drill program, BOM, pick-and-place, and cost estimate a fab needs from a finished board, plus mechanical mesh exports.
Run design-rule checks — run DRC, read and iterate on the results, and add signal-integrity checks for high-speed nets.
Autoroute a board — place components, autoroute with rip-up/retry across layers, then verify and preview.
Simulate heat — run quick and high-fidelity thermal studies, cache results with surrogates, and view field overlays.
Import a KiCad project — bring an external KiCad design into the unified document, check it, and re-export.
