60 Top: Macros Sprint Layout
Draw your pads and silkscreen outlines directly on the layout board, measure the pin lengths, and adjust pad sizes in the properties panel.
Do not dump hundreds of files into one folder. Organize your macros by category. Create subfolders in your directory using this top-tier framework:
Standard through-hole diodes (like the ubiquitous 1N4007). TO-92: Traditional through-hole small transistors.
Before diving into macros, let’s decode the keyword phrase. In Sprint Layout, typically refers to one of two things: macros sprint layout 60 top
Set the properties (e.g., Shape: Rectangular for SMD; Layer: Copper Top C1).
Single and double row 2.54mm and 2.0mm headers.
: Before manufacturing a board with a new macro, print your layout on paper at 100% scale. Place the physical component onto the paper to verify the pins line up perfectly. Draw your pads and silkscreen outlines directly on
Instead of drawing a DIP-16 chip or a 0805 resistor by hand every time, you simply drag the macro out of your sidebar library right onto the canvas. Top Macro Collections for Sprint-Layout 6.0
A macro in Sprint-Layout is a pre-designed, reusable component footprint stored as a tiny binary file with a .lmk extension. It bundles together: (SMD or through-hole)
When you drag a macro, the crosshair will "snap" to capture-points, ensuring your components align perfectly with your grid. Create subfolders in your directory using this top-tier
Narrow and wide body SO-8, SO-14, and SO-16, plus high-density TSSOP-20.
: After placement, macros can be rotated, mirrored (inverted for the flip side of the board), or adjusted through a property window. Creating Macros
