Using Mechanical CAD

Ultiboard’s mechanical CAD function can be used to design enclosure

boxes, front panels, or any other mechanical part associated with your PCB

design. Mechanical CAD functionality in Ultiboard takes two forms:

• You can create multi-layer mechanical CAD design files.

• You can have mechanical CAD layers as part of your PCB design files.

Design files can include up to 10 mechanical CAD layers. These are

accessed through the Layers tab of the Design Toolbox and can be

used in the same way as other layers in your design. Refer to the

Accessing Layers section of Chapter 3, Setting Up a Design, for more

information.

For the most part, you work with mechanical CAD designs the same way

that you do with PCB designs, although you cannot place traces or use the

Autoroute function in mechanical CAD designs.

Some of the described features may not be available in your edition of

Ultiboard. Refer to the NI Circuit Design Suite Release Notes for a list of

the features in your edition.

Creating Mechanical CAD Projects

To create a new project :

1. Choose File»New Project. The New Project dialog box appears.

2. Type the project name in the Project name field.

3. From the Design type drop-down list, select Mechanical CAD.

4. Indicate the folder where the file is to be kept. Either accept the default

shown in the Location field, or click the Browse button to select a

different location.

5. Click OK. The New Project

dialog box disappears, and a blank

unnamed mechanical CAD design is opened in that project.

The project you just created is also shown in the Projects tab.
