In this video, you’ll learn how to create the schematic symbol and PCB land pattern (or footprint) for the mounting holes on your PCB. Please refer to a standard mounting hole and screw size table to know which hole size you should design for. Hi, welcome to this free Altium Designer Tutorial for Beginners series. I'm using version 20.2.5 Follow along with this PCB Design Tutorial for Beginners using the Altium Designer Free Trial: https://www.altium.com/yt/kirschmackey Whenever I'm designing a printed circuit board (PCB), I almost always put mounting holes on my printed circuit board, and when I do, I always include them in the schematic. I think it’s very important to use the schematic to give as much information about the entire board and design as possible, including mechanical parts. In this video you will learn how to use Altium Designer 20 to create a schematic symbol in your local library and also a PCB land pattern (footprint) for that mounting hole. In that process you learn how to: Place pins Change the grid (G on your keyboard) Which grid spacing to use and why Map a local PCB footprint to a local schematic symbol Who this tutorial series is for Anyone who is using an ECAD software tool and wants to understand the idea of making a PCB from a schematic. Example PCB software would be the popular ones, like Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Mentor Graphics PADS/Xpedition, KiCAD, Autodesk EAGLE, or even Altium (20 or previous versions). Makers, hobbyists, Arduino enthusiasts.
