Course Overview

The DxDesigner® for Expedition® PCB Flow course will help you to improve your knowledge and skills with Design Definition solutions. Using the DxDesigner tools suite, you will gain proficiency in project management with Dashboard, schematic capture with DxDesigner, part selection using DxDatabook™ and much more. You will also learn how to prepare your final schematic for interfacing with the Mentor Graphics Expedition PCB layout tool.

Detailed lab exercises help reinforce lecture topics and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.

You will learn how to

  • Create flat and hierarchical schematic designs using DxDesigner proficiently
  • Place wires and buses in the design to create net connections
  • Search, select, and verify parts used in your design using DxDataBook
  • Create symbols for your schematics through a variety of methods, including the Symbol Wizard
  • Effectively build intelligence into your design using properties
  • Compile, package and export your schematic to Expedition PCB for place and route
  • Use CES to create and assign constraints to your design and pass that information to Expedition
