Posted - 19 Mar 2009 : 12:34:13 Hi all
I was wondering if you could help me change/improve my techniques for routing PCB
Here it is for 2 layers board: -I first place the components while reading the schematic (dual screen is quite useful)
-rearrange the components (very long task)
-check if the auto router can route everything with really small track and spacing settings if no -> rearange the component again if yes -> start the manual routing
-manual routing *start with the buses *route the tracks using only top coper for horizontal track and botom coper for vertical *route the power supplies *auto route the rest...
-fatten all the tracks -correct drc errors -do a "smooth all tracks" -mitre all tracks (round or angled) -check visual on 3D view -add signature and info -have a pint
Did I do anything wrong in here? any suggestion? any ideas??

Any critical stuff can then be fixed in position, and autoplace re-run to improve things. It will still need a lot of manual repositioning/fine tuning, but at least you'll know that the tracking should be reasonable. |
