Change the page layout to match the CNC machine
2
Choose Roland Modela MDX-15 (multi)
3
You might want to change the material size if you
dont need to use the whole area
4
Double-click on the Grid icon to change the
grid spacing
5
Set the grid spacing to 2.5mm and the step
spacing to 1.25mm
6
It might be a good idea to draw a box, using the
rectangle tool, that sets the boundaries for your
PCB if you are not using the whole area
7
In the example below the rectangle has been drawn
35mm tall and 60mm wide
8
Click on the Line tool and then change the
thickness (using the Line style button) to 0.30mm
9
Then change the line colour to blue using the
line colour button
10
You can now use the line tool to draw out the
circuit diagram, leaving spaces for the components
11
Click and hold the line icon and then select the
Draw a single point icon at the end
12
Change the point thickness to 0.80mm and the
point colour to red (in the same way that you
changed the line to 0.3mm and blue)
13
Use the point tool to draw dots in the places
where you want the CNC machine to drill the holes
14
Using the select tool, select the whole of your
pcb and then click on the flip arrows to reverse
your design
15
It is a good idea to print out your design to
check that the spacings are correct. Then save
into the Drop Zone, Design Technology,
Year9, Systems Control
