PCB 3D space

A PCB space lets you create printed circuit boards in 3D. This space has a split view, with the 3D view on top and the 2D view on the bottom.

The following table describes the differences between 2D and 3D views:

  2D 3D
Parts represented as: Schematic (symbols) Real-life
Parts allowed: All (except mechanisms without electronic aspects) Electronics and Mechanisms
Wiring: Drag on pads to add wires None. Wiring is represented by tracks after routing with real-PCB.
PCB board: None Shown without tracks until routing with real-PCB. Shape depends on which type of PCB 3D space is used.
