Hi all, I teach first year students electrical drawing with CAD. We create schematics and pcbs (single and double-sided only), to give them the basic concepts and to enable them to use the software to help in other areas of their courses (electronics etc).
We have just upgraded to Protel 99SE after using Protel 98 for about 4 years. I like the 3D pcb viewer because I think it will help students "visualize" the end product (electronics is new to many of them). Could anyone help with more information about how the 3D footprint is generated? For example, I understand that if I use a designator for a LED - D1 then I get a 3D diode footprint, whereas if I use LED1 then I get a footprint that looks like an LED. Where can I find more details about the "rules" in this area? Thanks for any help. Regards Liane.
