Creating PCB Board Outline
Thought for 1 min 16 sec
Here’s what the Flux documentation says about creating a PCB board (board outline) in the PCB view:
“In this tutorial, we'll explore the different ways to create and modify board outlines in Flux, allowing you to customize your PCB shape and size to fit your project requirements.
Overview
The board outline defines the physical boundaries of your PCB and is one of the first design decisions you'll make. Flux provides several options for creating board outlines, from simple shapes to complex custom designs.
We'll cover the following topics:
- Basic shapes: Create circular or rectangular boards with precise dimensions
- Rounded corners: Add rounded corners to rectangular boards for improved manufacturability
- Custom shapes: Import external shapes for complex designs
- Best practices: Guidelines for creating effective board outlines
Basic Shapes
Flux has built-in support for simple shapes (circular and rectangular). For complex shapes, please refer to the section on Advanced (custom) shapes.
