This is why your layout looks bad ?? Proper component placement is critical for creating a great layout, yet it's often overlooked when you're starting out. Get the full tutorial below! In the meantime, here are some quick tips: ?? Start with a centerpiece to establish a foundation for the rest of the layout. ?? Prioritize high-importance components like power regulators and MCUs before placing others. ?? Group components logically, such as LDOs, MCUs, and similar sections, to simplify connections. ?? Use alignment guides instead of grids to keep your design clean and precise. ??? Rely on the Ratsnest or airwires to guide optimal connections. ?? Use the 3D Viewer to check for potential assembly issues. ??? Component placement is an iterative process—refine and adjust as you go.

Thanks to you, Flux now has the largest community-made parts library in an eCAD! ?? With our community’s contributions, this year, Flux’s parts library has grown from 170,000 to over 800,000 components—one of the largest libraries embedded directly in any ECAD tool. This means instant access to a huge selection of parts. ??? What’s New: ? +672,000 High-quality parts from leading manufacturers—complete with symbols, footprints, datasheet links, descriptions, 3D models, and real-time pricing and availability. ?? Powerful Filters & Real-Time Data ? Find the right parts faster with professional-grade filters like Part Type, Manufacturer, Mount Style, Package Case Code, Availability, Compliance, and Terminal Count. ? See live pricing and stock data in real-time, so you can make informed decisions without leaving the same tool. ?? Smarter Research with AI Workflows ? Flux Copilot allows you to chat about datasheets, ask questions, and get immediate answers on part specs and capabilities. ? Easily compare parts on the canvas to choose the best components for cost, power efficiency, or performance. Our community's contributions are what make this library possible, every shared part helps someone else build faster and more efficiently. Dive into Flux, add your parts, and start your next project with support from the entire Flux community and powerful AI workflows!

This is the AI Design Review Tab! This is your go-to for smarter, context-aware PCB checks, making sure no critical errors or missed optimizations slip through. With each review, you get insights designed to boost reliability and manufacturability. ?? Resistor Power Ratings — Verifies each resistor can handle its power load, reducing the risk of overheating or failures. ?? Capacitor Voltage Margins — Confirms all capacitors are safe within your circuit’s voltage demands to keep everything running smoothly. ?? Pull-Up/Pull-Down Configurations — Double-checks resistors are set correctly, so your logic circuits function as intended. ?? Parts Availability — Flags components that may be hard to source, helping you choose reliable parts and avoid supply chain issues.
