Ultiboard Basics

The Ultiboard Basics Course introduces you to the Ultiboard environment. This course prepares you to transfer Multisim schematic netlists to Ultiboard and design a printed circuit board for export to production. Topics include design setup, precise part and trace placement, trace routing and the optimization and use of autoplacement and autorouting. You will learn how to prepare final designs for manufacturing and export to industry-standard file formats. The hands-on approach of the Ultiboard Basics course steps you through PCB creation, from Multisim netlists to Gerber files, teaching the application of necessary skills to quickly become productive with Ultiboard.
