Copying PCB Wiring Card Lines
Copying PCB Wiring Card Lines from the physical printed circuit board without the solder resist layer, scan the circuitry pattern of each layer to draw PCB layout, gerber file and schematic diagram;
To draw new lines of PCB board replicating you have to be in line-mode. Get there either by selecting it from the Tool palette or by pressing <Key>F2. Each successive notify event creates a new line. The adjustment to 45 degree lines is done automatically if it is selected from the Display menu.
You can toggle the 45 degree mode setting by pressing the <Key>. (That is the period key). When 45 degree enforcement is turned on there are three distinct modes of line creation: a single line on the closest 45 degree vector towards the cross hair (but not necessarily actually ending at the cross hair).
Two lines created such that the first leaves the start point on a 90 degree vector and the second arrives at the cross hair on a 45 degree vector if reverse engineering PCB circuit card, and finally two lines created such that the first leaves the start point on a 45 degree vector and the second arrives at the cross hair on a 90 degree vector.
These last two modes always connect all the way from the start and end points, and all lines have angles in 45 degree multiples. The <Key>/ cycles through the three modes. The status line shows a text icon to indicate which of the modes is active and the lines following the cross hair motion show the outline of the line(s) that will actually be created.
Press <Key>Escape to leave line-mode before reverse engineering printed wiring card. <Key>l, Shift<Key>l and the entries in the Sizes menu change the initial width of new lines. This width is also displayed in the status line.
