This book is a guide to the leading and readily available computer-aided design package, EASY-PC. Ian Sinclair explains clearly, using EASY-PC, how to get the best out of a PCB layout and design system. This book covers EASY-PC in detail, with step by step examples. Aimed in particular at the small-scale user of PCBs, professional, student and amateur, the book shows how to: edit layout until all connections are correct and no lines cross; produce silk-screen layouts and copper-etch diagrams; generate data to drive an NC drill. The book will also be useful for professionals requiring boards for development work and for production. The skills described and developed in this book will allow designers to: handle more complex circuit designs; show components and their interconnections; rearrange and move components and wiring and with the professional version; generate a rats-nest wiring diagram; use checking routines and generate reports; integrate the layout package with analysis programs; generate automatic PCB layouts.
