The following sections explain the basic components of the Ultiboard
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and show how to set up user preferences
and PCB properties.
Some of the described features may not be available in your edition of
Ultiboard. Refer to the NI Circuit Design Suite Release Notes for a list of
the features in your edition.
Ultiboard is the PCB layout application of National Instruments Circuit
Design Suite, a suite of EDA (Electronics Design Automation) tools that
assists you in carrying out the major steps in the circuit design flow.
Ultiboard is used to design printed circuit boards, perform certain basic
mechanical CAD operations, and prepare them for manufacturing. It also
provides automated parts placement and layout.
The toolbars provide a quick, convenient way for you to access the most
common Ultiboard functions. You can toggle toolbars on and off using the
View»Toolbars menu.
The Standard toolbar contains buttons for basic editing functions, and
appears by default when you run Ultiboard. The Standard toolbar buttons
are described in the table below.
