How can I stack the LEDs (diodes) at equal spacing in same line?

Vish7

I would like to place the diodes in the layout as follows (Image from the reference board file):

All the 9 diodes are aligned horizontally at a pitch of 60 mil. Now I have been trying to achieve the same in my design manually. I believe there must be an option to do as automatic in PCB editor. Please advice

  • Make sure you are in Placement Application Mode (Setup - Application Modes - Placement Edit) then window the parts, hover over the part you wish to align to and right click - Align Components, now look at the Options Pane and you will have choices as to how they are aligned but also what you want to space them out by (Equal Spacing an you can set a distance).
