Basic 3D PCB Design

Shows how to use the 3D PCB tools, convert a circuit automatically to a 3D PCB, zoom, rotate and move the view, reroute the circuit, change real component models and understand and resolve routing warnings.

Easy, 7 mins 54 secs

Advanced 3D PCB Design

Shows how to change common autorouting options including using double-sided boards, edit the PCB layout manually, pass changes from the PCB designer to the 3D simulation, check your design automatically, export the PCB layout for manufacture and test using the 3D multimeter.

Medium, 7 mins 38 secs

Program Microcontrollers

Shows how to set up a simple program for a PIC or PICAXE microcontroller using decisions, loops and variables, design the PCB for the microcontroller circuit and then simulate the circuit in 3D. 

Medium, 9 mins 51 secs

Mechanisms

Shows how to use and modify variables in your programs, generate random numbers and round off to a whole number, use built-in functions in expressions, monitor variable values as your program runs and understand error messages.
