PCB Designer to Presto

masterboyle
masterboyle 10 months ago

Are there any documents or tutorials for someone who is reasonably proficient in PCB Designer to find out where commonly used functions are in Presto X? Like "Here's where this is in PCB Designer, and here's where it is in Presto".

Thanks, 

Brian

    Hi Masterboyle, it seems the community has not picked up on this so I will answer:

    Firstly, the best source for this is the "COS" site, which is Cadence Online Learning and Support. This site contains over 18,000 articles with How To Articles, Troubleshoot guides, Training Videos, Rapid Adoption Kits containing sample pcb databases and more. This subscription service can be found at support.cadence.com.

    You can also find a lot of tutorial information online. There are very specific Youtube channels available which contain tutorials, including the Cadence youtube channel found here https://www.youtube.com/@CadencePCBDesignandAnalysis.

     Cadence also has several really excellent channel partners that put a lot of effort into adding value and publishing video content on their own channels. If any of our channel partners would like to instruct us where to find this, please feel free to add in the comments.

    Don't be surprised if something you're looking for is simply missing from Presto.  There are some glaring omissions in the features.  

    I've spent the last 6 months coming up to speed with Presto, so if you have specific questions maybe just ask them here.
