Managing PCB objects

The PCB panel allows you to view and edit each object on PCB. A quick search of the desired class or object is provided by the filtering system with several object type modes and flexible customization of displayed results.

Quick overview

Panel access

Use View > Panels > PCB or select PCB from the Panels drop-down menu to access the panel.

Panel modes

Display management

Visual highlighting effects

Normal mode - filtered objects are highlighted, other objects remain unchanged.

Mask mode - filtered objects are highlighted, other objects are hidden under the mask. Masked objects cannot be selected.

Dim mode - filtered objects are highlighted, other objects are dimmed. Dimmed objects can be selected.

You can adjust the level of masking and dimming using the View Configuration panel (the View Options tab > the Mask and Dim Settings region).

Standards for PCB Thermal Shock and T Testing

Standards for PCB Thermal Shock and Temperature Testing Electronic components generate heat while they operate, which will heat up the rest of your board. Heat will move to cooler areas of the board, but a board that reaches high temperature without quickly dissipating heat is prone to failure. Thermal shock testing aims to evaluate a design to ensure it can withstand thermal shock and comply with important application requirements.
