This video show you how to create a rectangular array of circuits by simply selecting, setting row and column counts and dragging. This was done using PCB-DEX.
Adding a Button Battery to the LED Voltage Ladder
This shows you how to replace a power connector with a battery on the board.
Converting a TPH Design to a SMT Design
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.
LM3914 LED Display
This video show the design of a simple LED ladder display. It takes you through the process from schematic, custom part creation and PCB manual routing with PCB-DEX.
Using Docking and Floating Panels
This video show you how to dock/undock/collapse and float panels in PCB-DEX
Creating a simple amplifier using pre-designed circuits.
This video show you how to partition a design into a amplifier sub-system and a separate power sub-system. The design uses pre-designed circuits and show you how to drag and drop them onto sheets to quickly create a sub-system. The sub-system are then connected together and finally the PCB is automatically created. This video uses PCB-DEX and demonstrates schematic design, PCB layout, auto-routing and 3D visualization.
100 Watt Amplifier Design
This video gives you a quick view of the 100W amplifier sample that comes with PCB-DEX. It shows the schematic, PCB and the PCB in 3D. You also get a glimpse of Active3D
Undo/redo and disaster recovery
This video show you how PCB-DEX saves every change you make to a project to a special backup directory. This is the perfect 'Get out of jail free card' if your computer crashes due to power outage etc.
One Click PCB board design, layout and auto-routing
This show you how to create a PCB board from a schematic, layout the parts on the PCB, minimize the size of the PCB and auto-route the PCB with a single click.
Reference Designators in PCB-DEX
In PCB-DEX you can change the orientation, font and scaling of part reference designators in PCBs and schematics. In schematics you can also change the color.
