Tool software habit problem

Tool software habit problem [Copy link]

I'd like to ask everyone, when using AD and PADS, the default colors of each layer are different. For example, the default top layer of AD is red, the bottom layer is blue, and the top layer silk screen is yellow. If you switch from AD to PADS, are you used to it when drawing? Have you ever encountered the problem that the color of the layer you think is inconsistent with the actual color?

In addition, the color of each layer can be changed. I can change the display color of each layer in PADS to be consistent with AD, but when communicating with the person who is new to PADS, will there be conflicts again?

Is it better to use the default colors and enforce your habits? Or is it better to change the colors to suit your own habits?

When PADS personnel communicate, are there conflicts among them? This question needs to be explained. Who is the main person in charge of this PCB drawing work? It is impossible for you to draw and I to draw. There must be a main creative person.

Moreover, color is only an auxiliary distinction. The main content is still in the attributes. As long as there is no principled mistake, getting used to this kind of thing will not have much impact. You will say that this piece is on the top layer, and you will not say that this piece is on the red layer.

Just use the default color

The top and bottom layers have been changed, but the solder mask layer, drilling layer, and mechanical layer are still awkward.

It doesn't matter what you get used to. After getting it, you just check the settings of the software.

But if you change the color of the drawing, others will also change the color when they get it.

I feel it is better not to change it, so that I can get familiar with the colors of the two software.

The moderator is very familiar with both, and usually uses both. They are the default ones, right?

Yes, it depends on whether your brain is flexible enough. Don't be too slow to react and make yourself dizzy.

It depends on what you like and choose according to your proficiency.

I feel that communication is necessary, and then I habitually choose to communicate with PADS personnel.
