Macros - Sprint Layout 6.0 Verified

Sprint-Layout 6.0 , a "macro" is a saved section of a PCB layout—typically a component footprint (like a resistor, chip, or connector)—that you can reuse across multiple projects. Using Existing Macros Open the Library : Click the macro-library icon (looks like a small IC) on the right-side toolbar. Browse and Preview

• Cause: You have not "Dissolved the Group."
• Solution: As mentioned above, right-click > Dissolve Group. If the option is greyed out, the macro might be locked on a layer you cannot see. Press Ctrl+A (Select All) and then Dissolve.

Step 3: Select Everything There are two ways to select a group in Sprint Layout: Cause: You have not "Dissolved the Group

Step 1: Design the Circuit Fragment

1. Open a new Sprint Layout 6.0 file.
2. Place a 1206 capacitor pad (using the SMD tool).
3. Add two vias (one on each end of the pad) sized 0.8mm.
4. Draw a 0.3mm track connecting the left pad to the left via, and the right pad to the right via.
5. Add silk screen outline around the component.

4. Panelization

If you are sending a small board to a PCB manufacturer like JLCPCB or PCBWay, you often want to panelize it (fit 10 small boards into a 100x100mm area to save money). Macros allow you to save the board outline and repeat it perfectly without alignment errors.
