Tool Post Assembly Drawing Pdf Download - Mechanical Drawing (Assembly Drawing) Second Stage[^2^]

The picture below shows three views of a figure from the front, right, and top. The entire figure uses a total of seven cubes. Can you construct the figure using the isometric drawing tool? (Be sure to use cubes of the proper color, too.)

If you have any other data for any other processes, you have to communicate that to the assembly house. For high volume production, the PCBs are fabricated on large panels. Consult with your service provider about which size of panel should be used and the clearances and sizes to use when panelizing. If you want to panelize your board yourself, KiCad has an open-source plugin called KiKit (developed by Jan Mrázek) which is a CLI tool to easily panelize your designs. Sometimes the manufacturer will panelize your boards. The stencil will also be created to fit the panel. Follow our previous tutorial to generate Gerber and drill files.

You might wonder where these XY coordinates are coming from. Every component has to have an origin set somewhere, that is possible for a Pick and Place (PnP) machine to pick it up from. This location will be usually specified in the datasheet of the part. Otherwise, the center of the component is used as the origin. One has to follow instructions in the datasheet when creating a new footprint. But not everyone does this right and that can cause issues when you are using the footprint for PCBA. If you downloaded a footprint from the web, it will be better to check if they have these pickup locations set correctly. In KiCad, these origin points will appear as anchor points as seen as a green + symbol below. It is this coordinate value that appears in the position file. If the pickup location is hard to show in the files, you can show it on the assembly drawing.

Assembly drawing is the visual representation of your PCB, that shows component designators, values, and other markings. KiCad does not have the option to export assembly drawings directly but they can be created from exported PDF files. You can export your PCB layers as PDFs using the Plot dialog seen below. Make sure you select all the layers required.

Choose PDF as the plot format. We also need to keep the page border and title block and board outline on all pages. If you keep the drill marks to actual sizes, holes will be created on all layers where the drill is applicable. For example, if you have a text placed on a via, the drill mark will clip the text on the exported PDF. This can make reading the text, especially smaller ones, difficult to read. Keep all other settings as above. All layers will be exported as individual PDF files. These PDF files can be opened in any vector editing software and be combined into a single page. We usually use A4 or A3 in landscape mode for assembly drawing. Graphical layers to include in assembly drawing are,

Use consistent orientations for all graphics with a scale of 1:1 even though the drawings are not for actual machining. Include extra information if there is any, such as how to solder wires or insert certain connectors. This information will be used by human operators than machines. Below is the assembly drawing for Mitayi Pico RP2040. You can use our PDF as a template. 2ff7e9595c
