Discover the three essential viewing modes that optimize your PCB design workflow. This video demonstrates Board Planning Mode for board shape creation and Rigid-Flex design modifications, 2D Layout Mode which serves as the primary workspace for component placement and routing operations, and 3D Layout Mode for comprehensive design visualization and review.
Understanding these viewing modes is fundamental for efficient PCB design navigation and project presentation. Learn when and how to utilize each mode effectively, including keyboard shortcuts for rapid mode switching. These viewing capabilities enhance design productivity and provide professional presentation tools for stakeholder communication.
