3D Viewing in PADS

Details

Overview

Watch how you can view your design in 3D within PADS Layout, and import mechanical data such as enclosures to ensure there are no interferences between the PCB assembly and mechanical structures.  Interaction between electrical and mechanical engineering is more important than ever to achieve “first time” success for your design.

What You Will Learn

  • How to quickly and easily employ the PADS 3D Viewer
  • How to use Mechanical Symbols IP with PADS 3D Viewer
  • How Mechanical Chassis, Covers, Heat sinks, etc. can be imported into PADS 3D Viewer for a more complete picture of the Mechanical/Electrical board as a unified assembly
  • How to use controls to vary perspectives in PADS 3D Viewer
