Adjust arc radius (small increments, larger increments with SHIFT)ĬS includes the ability to import a bitmap graphic using Home | Image.

SHIFT+SPACE (Cycle Placement Mode) - Toggles though the various placement modes which are Line 45/90 Line 90/45 Line 90/45 with Arc Line 90/90 Line 90/90 with Arc. SPACE (Toggle Elbow Side) - Changes the initial starting direction of the line segment, for example toggling between a horizontal or vertical start. The most common shortcuts are described below. Hit F1 (or SHIFT+F1) when drawing to see the available shortcuts. Whilst in the drawing process where the cursor has changed and you are placing vertices you can change the elbow direction and the placement mode (angle constraints and straight lines/arcs). Some useful tips to help control the drawing process, these apply to both drawing shapes and routing tracks so well worth knowing if you are not familiar.

Home | Fill - a filled polygonal shape with any number of vertices This document covers the following methods:įor simple designs the tools available within CS can be sufficient to create a graphic.You have a good range of tools including lines, arcs, circles, text, fills, regions and polygons.Ī little explanation of the difference may help. Once a logo has been imported or designed you can save as a library component to allow easy re-use. There are a few different ways to accomplish this and it may be a little bit of trial and error to see what works best for your particular design.

If it often a requirement to include one or more logos on a PCB, this may be a company logo or regulatory mark.
