📐 Section 1: Planar Draft Design
Create a New Electronics Design
Open Fusion 360 and select Create new Electronics design to start a new PCB project.
Add Components
Import and place the required components on the schematic. The images below show the process of adding components to the design. Click any image to view full size.
Add and Connect Wires
After placing the components, add wires and connect the circuit traces between them to complete the schematic.
🔌 Section 2: Adjust Routing & Draw the Board
After completing the schematic draft, click Switch to enter 2D circuit editing mode. Then click Rules, select Design Rules to configure your routing rules.
Arrange the traces, then click Quick Route → Automatic Route for automatic routing. Next, click Route → Check Design Route to verify there are no unconnected traces.
As shown in the image above, there may be some unconnected traces. Return to the schematic draft page and re-adjust the connections until there are no unconnected traces in the single-layer board. Finally, use BoardShape to draw the PCB board outline.
Finally press T to add a text box and place it on the PCB board. 😎
