Duration: 4 Tage
Price: 2600 EUR
Course Part Number: 236554

Course Overview

The Expedition 2007 Advanced course was developed to help you understand many of the advanced layout options available for Expedition PCB including many of the purchasable utilities.   

Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed during the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.

You will learn how to

• Use graphics command to create complex elements
• Use schematic cross-probing to place and examine within a PCB design
• Use advanced placement commands to place, copy and move circuits
• Import and Export IDF files for 3-D modeling
• Use CES Net Class definitions to solve routing problems
• Efficiently work with via and pad definitions and changes
• Define and use Multi Via Objects (MVOs)
• More efficiently use inter-active routing commands
• Use CES to define electrical constraints and classes
• Route using electrical constraints
• Maintain multiple designer environments in Team PCB
• Define MicroVias and route using blind and buried definitions
• Use Fablink XE functionality in a PCB design or the Panel Editor
• Use the Report Writer to document your designs

Hands-On Labs
