Well-maintained and consistent libraries are the keys to efficient design work in Expedition PCB®. The "Library Manager™ for DxDesigner® to Expedition® PCB Flow" course will give you the skills necessary to create, protect, add to and change the different data types in your Central Library. The lecture modules discuss the Central Library philosophy as well as how to use the Library Manager tools and how to best interface library objects into your design process. Hands-on lab exercises reinforce the lecture topics as you create a small library of symbols, parts, and cells from scratch under the guidance of our industry expert instructors. You will learn how to * Start a new Central Library and copy elements between libraries * Create partitions and set up partition search order schemes * Control default text properties and create custom properties * Create symbols for use in DxDesigner schematics * Create padstacks for use in Expedition PCB and the Cell Editor * Create cells to represent the part footprint and physical characteristics in Expedition PCB * Integrate symbols and cells together to define parts (PDBs) for Expedition PCB * Maintain Expedition PCB layout templates * Configure DxDatabook™ and use it to support DxDesigner and Expedition PCB * Import logical and physical reuse blocks into a Central Library Hands-On Labs Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience using Library Manager software. Hands-on lab topics include: * Creating a Central Library * Library Manager and Library Services * Padstack, Basic Cell and Basic Symbol Editors * Advanced symbols * Cell Editor graphic commands * Routing in the Cell Editor * PDB Editor basic usage * Advanced PDB topics * Expedition PCB Template creation * DxDatabook configuration * DxDesigner to Expedition PCB data flow * Reuse blocks in the Central Library Prerequisites * Experience in schematic capture design or PCB layout * Understanding of schematic capture and PCB layout terms and practices * Familiarity with Windows operating system * The "Expedition PCB Introduction" course is recommended
