If the new location for the end being moved is invalid, for example on the same edge of the board shape as the anchored end, the Split Line will turn red. The Split Line will remain blue while dragging to a permitted location that will still result in a valid split. The cursor will be constrained to the current snap grid. To relocate the end of a line, click, hold and drag it to the required location around the perimeter of the board shape.Select View В» Board Planning Mode or press the 1 shortcut to enter Board Planning Mode.Note that bending lines have also been placed. The board has been split into a number of distinct regions by placing Split Lines. Position the cursor in the required location then click once to place the second end.ДЄ board is split into distinct regions by placing a Split Line, which runs from one edge of the board shape to another edge.One end of the line will attach to the closest point on the board shape outline to where you clicked, the other end of the line will attach to the cursor. Click within the board shape to begin the Split Line definition process.Select Design В» Define Split Line to enter Split Line placement mode.Select View В» Board Planning Mode (or press the 1 shortcut) to enter Board Planning Mode.

So if you are used to findingВ board shape commands on the Design menu and cannot see them anymore, make sure you are in the right mode! Placing a Split Line The editor menus will populate with relevant commands for the respective modes. Alternatively, if you're working on different areas of the board, use the 2В or 3В shortcuts. If you need to see the same location and orientation of the board as you switch view modes, press Ctrl+Alt+2В or Ctrl+Alt+3. The View menu has three PCB editor working modes with easy-to-remember shortcuts, allowing you to quickly switch between: This is done with the PCB editor in Board Planning Mode. You divide a board into two regions by placing a split line. Note the shape has been divided into three distinct board regions, created by the two horizontal dashed blue Split Lines. Note the orange dashed lines these are bending lines since this rigid-flex design is going to be folded when it is assembled. These regions have been created by placing the two horizontal dashed blue Split Lines. In the image below, the board shape has been divided into three distinct board regions: the upper circle, the center strip, and the lower circle. If the board design requires multiple layer stacks, then you can split the single default board region into multiple regions, and assign a unique layer stack to each of those regions. When a new board is created, it defaults to having a single board region - the outline of the board shape.

STEP Export of the Folded Rigid-Flex BoardДЄ Board Region is the term used to describe a user-defined area of the board that can have a unique layer stack assigned to it.
