Modifying the physical dimensions of a printed circuit board layout is a fundamental task during the design process. This adjustment is necessary to accommodate component placement, fit within enclosure constraints, or meet specific form factor requirements. The design software Ultiboard provides several methods to accomplish this alteration, ensuring accurate and efficient board definition.
Accurate board sizing is critical for successful fabrication and assembly. Underestimating the required area can lead to design compromises, while overestimating increases material costs and potentially limits application suitability. Efficiently defining board outlines minimizes material waste and reduces overall manufacturing expenses. Historically, this process involved manual drafting, making precision adjustments time-consuming; modern software tools streamline and automate this aspect of PCB design.
