Output your Circuit Schematic diagram to Layout Preparing for PCB layout involves setting grid values, board outlines, vias, pads, design rules, and custom shortcuts according to manufacturer specifications. Common errors during schematic transfers, like incorrect or missing footprint assignments, must be corrected to ensure accurate design synchronization through forward and back annotation. Proper annotation maintains design integrity by aligning schematic and layout changes. Other processes, such as part renumbering, help in easy assembly and troubleshooting. In case of last-minute changes, they should originate from the schematic and be properly annotated to reflect in the layout. Highlight selection techniques help locate specific components or traces. After design completion, files in RS-274X format are generally sent to PCB manufacturers, commonly in China for cost-effective production.
