Convert TPH to SMT |
This video shows you how to convert a design built with TPH PCB technology to one using SMT. The design will be dramatically reduced in size and manufacturing costs will also be greatly reduced. |
3D Modelling in Active3D |
This is a quick video to show you some modeling in Active3D. Active3D is part of AutoTRAX DEX.
|
Track Necking |
This video show you how to reduce the width of a track segment to avoid design rule errors when routing between pads. |
Real-Time Design Rule PCB Checking (DRC) |
This video show you how to do real time design rule checking when manually routing your PCB. |

Quick Autorouting |
This short demo shows you how to auto-route a PCB in seconds saving you time and money. This leaves you with loads of time to do something more interesting than manual routing. |
PCB Manual Routing |
PCB Manual Routing is initially demonstrated in this video. |
3 Manual Routing Styles |
3 different routing techniques for PCB design |
Connection a SMT pad to an internal copper pour |
This video shows you how to connect a SMT pad on the top side of a PCB to a copper pour area on a different layer in AutoTRAX DEX. |
The AutoTRAX File Viewer |
The video show you how to quickly manually route a PCB in AutoTRAX DEX. |
Interactive PCB Routing with AutoTRAX |
Interactive PCB routing with AutoTRAX DEX is demonstrated in this video. |
Manual Routing with AutoTRAX - 2 |
This video show you more tips on manually routing your PCB. |
Manually Routing TPH pads and SMT pads |
This video show you how to manually route between TPH pads and SMT pads on different PCB layers in AutoTRAX DEX. It also show you how to add redundant tracks and delete them. |
Manual Routing with Automatic Targets |
This video show you how to easily route a track/net on a PCB with automatic target suggestions. |
Adding a Track Jumper in AutoTRAX |
This quick demo shows you how to add a jumper to a track to get past an obstacle that you cannot route around using the current layers on the PCB. |

Cross Cursors in AutoTRAX |
With AutoTRAX DEX you can have a simple cursor or an optional full screen width/height line cursor that many of you like. This choice is your. This video show you how to switch between the two. |
Solder Mask Differences in PCBs |
This video show you solder mask differences in PCBs |
True-type fonts for PCB production |
With AutoTRAX DEX you can choose between classic simple 'stick' text or professional looking True-type fonts for your PCB silkscreens. This video show you the difference and how to make your choice. |
Automatically connect SMT pads to power planes |
This video show you how to automatically connect SMT pads to power planes |
Routing |
This video show you how to partially route a PCB track and them come back to it later and finish it off. |
Rigid-Flex PCB Design |
This video demonstrates how to create a Rigid-Flex PCB using AutoTRAX DEX. |
Manual Routing PCBs with Snap to Pad |
The video show you how to manual route a PCB track and ensure the final segment is horizontal/Vertical or at a 45° angle to the target Pad. |
Routing with Copper Pour Regions |
This video shows you how the new routing using copper pour areas will work in AutoTRAX DEX. It demonstrates manually routing a VCC net that connects three pads in the copper pour region. You will see that the integrity is maintained and you are guided to valid targets during manual routing. The end result is that a net has been correctly routed and maintains the electrical connectivity are defined by the schematics for the PCB project. |
