Interactively Defining and Editing the Board Shape Alternatively, change views quickly using the 1 (Board Planning Mode), 2 (2D) and 3 (3D) keyboard shortcuts. The current viewing mode for the PCB document can be changed using the corresponding commands from the main View menu.

Placing one or more Board Regions to build up the overall Board Shape (Advanced Rigid-Flex mode).

For a Rigid-Flex design (Standard or Advanced Mode), the Board Shape can be sliced into the various Board Regions needed in the design.

If you are working in Advanced Rigid-Flex mode, then multiple Board Regions can be created from objects selected in the design space.

Creating the Board Shape from selected track/arc objects that form a closed boundary.

Interactively defining the Board Shape in Board Planning Mode.

The overall Board Shape can be created by: When a new PCB file is created, it opens with a rectangular Board Shape created from a single Board Region. The Board Shape is only available in the PCB editor.

Calculating the board edge when outputting design data to other tools.

Power plane edge pullback, and edge references for splitting a power plane into separate voltage zones.

Providing a visual guide of the extents of the space available for the placement and routing of the design.

Tthe Board Shape is used by the software for: The Board Shape can be made up of a single Board Region (for a traditional rigid PCB) or multiple board regions (for a rigid-flex PCB). The Board Shape, also referred to as the board outline, is a closed polygonal shape that defines the overall extents of the board. Click through the slides to see the three Board Regions that make up the rigid-flex shape, and the finished board in 3D. The Board Shape defines the overall shape of the finished board.
