How to draw 18 special PCB traces! [Copy link]

 
AD serpentine routing method
Select Interactive length tuning in the Tool. You need to route the line first and then change it to serpentine. Here we use serpentine routing directly: first P->T routing, then Shift + A to switch to serpentine routing
Press Tab to set the properties. Select Arc for Type. Set the maximum amplitude for Max Amplitude. Gap is the interval (I don't know if this translation is correct). The left side below is the amplitude increment, and the right side is the interval increment.
Then start wiring
Make the edge "round" - Press the shortcut key "2" to increase the radius of the arc. When it is increased to the maximum, two 1/4 arcs directly connected will form a 180-degree semicircle. Shortcut key"," "." You can adjust the amplitude
If you don't remember the shortcut key, it doesn't matter. Press "`" at any time to display the currently supported operations
You can see the length of the network. There is more than one place
Equal length wiring can be completed using a regulator
Removing solder mask in high current routing
There are two points to note here. First, Paste The layer is the real tin-spraying layer, but there is a solder mask layer on the default routing, so using Paste alone is useless, so Solder is needed. The part marked out in this layer has no solder mask, so the Paste+Solder method can be used to draw the tin-spraying line. If there are routing lines on the board, you can directly use the Solder of the corresponding layer to open a window.
Bus drawing method
Altium Designer supports simultaneous routing of multiple networks, and routing can start from the pad or from the beginning of the line. Hold down the shift key to select multiple networks, or use the mouse to select multiple networks, select the menu command PLACE >> Interactive Multi-Routing, and then click the bus routing tool on the routing toolbar to start bus routing. During the routing process, you can place vias, switch straight line layers, and press commas and periods to adjust the branch line spacing.
During the process, press 2 to add vias and L to change layers~
From schematic to PCB
Use the mouse to select a circuit or several devices in the schematic and press T—>S to switch to PCB and select those devices synchronously
Route Change layers, operate vias, operate traces

Quick setting of routing pushing and connection method
Simple PCB pasting of graphic elements
The pasting of graphic element files makes the generation of mechanical layer design documents easier to complete. By using the familiar Windows Copying data from Word or Excel to the PCB Supported metafiles include bitmaps, lines, arcs, simple fills and true type text, allowing you to easily paste logos and other graphics.
Complex graphic element (logo) PCB production
Grid setting and capturing
in Altium Designer The visual grid and electrical grid can be set as multiples of the capture grid (Design>>Board Options).
Silkscreen text reverse color output and position settings
New valid string attribute box options have been added to PCB editing. The new options can define different rectangular boundary ranges for reverse text using True Type fonts, instead of using the boundaries of the reverse text itself as before.
Reverse size (width/height): Set the width and height of the reverse text rectangle box
Layout adjustment: Define the relative position of the text in the text box
Reverse text offset: Define the offset of the reverse text relative to the rectangle box
Various polygon fills
Using the function of defining polygon shapes from selected objects makes it very easy to create company logos or polygons using external resources (such as DXF, AutoCAD, etc.). The definition of polygon shapes is divided into two steps: first, define the polygon area from the menu Tools>>Polygon Pours>>Define From selected objects, then right-click on the polygon fill area and select the 'Properties' option from the pop-up menu, and then you can set the fill mode in the dialog box.

Single-layer operation and customization
[color =rgb(51, 51, 51)]For the chaotic device layout, it is already very troublesome. If you want to route in the chaos, it is not easy. In AD, you can use shift+s to solve this problem (in PCB editing state):
In addition, I learned the customization method from the Internet. It is troublesome at the beginning, but it will be very practical after learning it.
The method is:
[align= left]
[attach] 413147[/attach]
The expression for operating only the top-level wiring is:
[align =left]expr=IsTrack and OnTopLayer|mask=True|apply=True
The expression that only operates the bottom layer routing is:
expr=IsTrack and OnBottomLayer|mask=True| apply=True
The expression that only operates on electrical routing is: expr=IsTrack and IsElectrical|mask=True|apply=True ]The expression for operating only vias is: expr=IsVia|mask=True|apply=True
The expression that only operates on the top-level components is:
expr=IsComponent and OnTopLayer|mask=True|apply=True
[color=rgb (51, 51, 51)] Customize several via sizes, and use the numeric keys on the keypad as shortcut keys. 3 represents a via with a 0.3 aperture, 4 represents a via with a 0.4 aperture, and the shortcut key 5... In this way, you can If you want to use vias of any size, you can easily adjust it. I know that AltiumDesigner itself can use the shortcut key "shift+v" to call the various sizes of vias you have filled in during the routing process, but I place the vias separately. If I want to change the size, I have to press the Tab key and rewrite the vias. The size data is very troublesome. Use the following method instead:
[align= Left]
Altium originally placed The default shortcut key for vias is "P" + "V". I now use the "." on the numeric keypad to achieve the same function:
Multi-layer line operation
Some people ask how such a line is drawn: , 51)]
Answer: They are drawn one by one. How can I set it so that the lines overlap? Preferences, PCB Editor, Interactive Routing, Interactive Routing Options, Automatically Remove Loops option can be unchecked
[attach]413153[/ If you don't want to draw them one by one, you can also use Place - Region and put a polygonal area, but be careful. Oh, it won't add the network by itself. It will turn green.

[ Color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Setting and routing of equal differential lines
Many beginners will hear the term "differential line". In fact, differential lines are not difficult to use. They are just a wiring method. They are much easier than the equal-length lines mentioned earlier. However, there are certain rules for setting them up: [/ Place components and draw differential pair signals. The naming convention for differential pairs is to use the same name with suffixes of _P and _N. Select Place directives differential pairs and place the differential pair symbol.51)]
After updating to PCB
[align =center]
This is Okay~
[ color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]3D display operation
Your main window can be displayed in 2D and 3D at the same time. To switch between 2D and 3D, use the shortcut key '3' to switch from a 2D view to a 3D view; press '0' to flatten. Shift+ right+click +drag to rotate your 3D view.
[color=rgb (51, 51, 51)]Haha~ Here I show the author's newly designed board~ STM32F103C8 small board with JLINK emulator~
Quickly zoom in and out of the view[/ There are many ways to enlarge the window, but there are only three that are really practical. The following are introduced: 1. Full interface view 413162[/attach]
2. ctrl+scroll wheel (zoom in and out with the center of the mouse)[/align ]
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51) ]3. Press and hold the scroll wheel for a long time to turn it into a magnifying glass, and drag the mouse back and forth to quickly zoom in and out. 51)]

The schematic diagram of LDO 1117, imported into PCB, the two 2 pins are not connected, it was not done before, but it is like this today. Why is this?
