Routing Traces in Flux
Thought for 16 sec
Below is a summary of how to route traces in the PCB layout in Flux:
-
Starting a Trace:
Click on a routing touch point (any pad with a connected net) to begin your trace. -
Modifying the Trace:
- Press F to change the trace’s angle (elbow direction).
- Press W to adjust the trace width.
-
Changing Layers:
Press V to place a via, which switches the trace to a different layer if needed.
For a detailed walkthrough, please refer to the Routing tutorial in the Flux documentation.
To start routing, click on the routing touch point for your components. This initiates a trace. Use 'F' to toggle elbow directions and 'W' to adjust trace width.
