    Of course you can. First draw your board outline then place your components and route your board.

    There is an excellent tutorial on it. <install_dir>\doc\flowtut\flowtut.pdf     Chapter 5  Board design using OrCAD PCB Editor

    The tutorial is fine...

    I success my Artwork, and it is in color on the screen.  When I print it, the printout is in gray scale on my monochrome laser.  Is it possible to get black printout for a good PCB process.

     

    Thank you.

     How did you made your printout?.  Have you printed it from PCB Editor or from some Gerber Editor/Viewer?

  • sympatique

    I made the printout from PCB editor    File --> import -->  Artwork.

    I Have download a free Gerber Viewer from Protel and the result is perfect.

    Thank you Again for your help.
