Modeless commands in PowerPCB5.0.1

1. Global Settings

C Supplemental format, used to display the Plan layer's pads and Thermo when designing the inner negative.

The method of use is: enter the C display on the keyboard, and enter C again to remove the display.

Turn on or off complementary display modes for the design screen.

D Turns the current layer display on or off by typing D from the keyboard to toggle. It is recommended to use D to display the Current Layer Last = ON state.

DO Turns the via display mode on or off.

E Route termination mode toggle, you can switch between the following 3 modes.

"End No Via" when routing Ctrl+click When wiring is terminated without VIA

When "End Via" is routed, the ctrl+ click is terminated via

"End Test Point" When routing Ctrl+Click When wiring terminates via the test PIN

Use by typing E from the keyboard to switch.

I Database integrity testing, when a system anomaly is found during the design process, you can try to hit this key.

L<n> Change the highlight layer to the nth layer. "n" can be a layer number or a layer name, such as "L2" or "L Top"

N<s> is used to highlight NET with "s" as the signal name to display. Signals can be displayed one by one in a stacked manner, such as the "N GND" modeless command highlighting the entire "GND" network, and then executing the "N A13" modeless command to continue highlighting the "A13" network.

N- Un-highlighted in the reverse order of the highlight operation.

N Cancels all highlight signals.

O<r> Displays pads and traces in their outer frame; /// Select outline lines to display pads and wiring.

PO Copper lays toggle between displaying its outer frame and spreading; // Automatic copper profile line ON/OFF switching.

Q Open the quick gauge and start measuring at your current position. Dx, dy and d can be measured quickly. Idea exact measurement when canceling snaps to the design grid in the status box.

QL quickly measures wiring lengths. Segments, networks, and wiring pairs can be measured.

The measurement method is as follows: first select the line segment, network, or wiring pair that needs to be measured, and then type the "QL" modeless command, a length report is generated.

R<n> sets the minimum display line width, and lines smaller than this value display only their centerline, such as "R8".

RV is used to toggle parameter settings when the output is reused using the file Reuse. For more information see "To Make a Like Reuse in Object Mode"//Keep Establishing Repetitive Usage Circuit Patterns.

SPD displays the split/mixed plans layer data, which controls one parameter in the split/mixed planes parameters dialog box. Displays the data that generated the mix\split layer.

The SPI shows the thethermal of the plan layer. The command controls one parameter in the split/mixed planes parameters dialog box. Displays the thermal pad marker "X".

SPO shows the shape line of the split/mixed planes layer. This command controls a parameter in the splix/mixed planes parameters dialog box. Only the outline of the blend\split layer is displayed.

T Sets the PCB view to transparent display mode, which is useful for complex board designs.

X Text text outline line display toggle. Turns text outline display on or off.

W<n> Change the line width to <n >, such as "W30".

2. Grids

G<x> {<Y>} global grid settings. The second parameter is optional. The design can be changed at the same time as via Grid. Such as G25 or G25 25

GD<x> {<Y>} displays the raster settings. The second parameter is optional. Such as the GD25 25 or GD100.

GP switches the polar coordinate grid. Polar grids are used when designing a circular shape or when the component layout is placed in polar coordinates. Turns the polarity grid on or off.

GP r a moves to a defined polar coordinate, with r as the radius and a as the angle.

GPR r moves to a point with a defined radial radius of r under certain conditions of angle a.

GPA a Moves at the defined angle a under certain radial radius r.

GPRA da moves according to the defined angle da under certain conditions of radial radius r.

GPRR dr moves according to the current radial radius dr under certain conditions of angle a.

GP<xx> Set the design grid, such as GR 8-1/3, GR 25 25, or GR25.

GV<xx> Set via grids, such as GV 8-1/3, GV 25 25, or GV25.

3. Search

S<s> Find component components or pins, such as S U1, S U1.1.

S<n><n> Find an absolute coordinate point, such as "S 15001200".

SR<n><n> Find a relative coordinate point, such as SR -200 100.

SRX<n> Keep the current Y coordinate unchanged and find a relative X coordinate point, such as SRX 300.

SRY<n> Keep the current X coordinate unchanged and find a relative Y coordinate point, such as SRY 400.

SS<s> finds and selects a component or a class of components because this command supports the wildcard symbol "*", such as SS U10.

Note: Spaces in shortcut commands are very important, as SS W1 has a completely different meaning than S SW1. SS W1 is the element that retrieves and selects W1, while S SW1 is the element that retrieves sw.

SS <s>* can use the * sign in the retrieval command for batch selection. The method is to enter a space after SS, and enter the retrieved character name and * sign. As in SS C*, all components that begin with the letter C can be selected.

Note: This command is very useful when laying out components, such as you can select all the resistors with SS R* and then move the originals one by one by selecting Move Sequential in pop-up meun to lay them out.

SX<n> Keep the current Y coordinate unchanged, moving a defined absolute coordinate X point, such as SX 300.

SY<n> Keep the current X coordinate unchanged, moving a defined absolute coordinate Y point, such as SY 400.

XP finds and selects line segments that use pixels instead of lineweights. This command allows the user to adjust those corners when the width is less than the lineweight.

4. Angles

AA switches to any angle mode.

AD switches to 45° mode.

AO switches to right-angle mode.

5. Cancellation (Undo)

UN[<n>] The number of times the user sets undo. The system can allow setting undo(1-100); <n> is optional, as UN 2 means that only one undo is allowed. Multiple operations can be canceled because n is mutable.

RE[<n>] The number of times the user sets Redo. The system can allow redo (1-100) to be set; <n> is optional, as RE 2 means that redo is allowed only once. Repeat the operation multiple times.

6. Design Rules Checking (DRC)

DRP turns on design rule checking to prohibit operations that violate design rules.

DrW warns against actions that violate design rule checks.

DRI ignores the safe spacing check.

DRO completely turns off design rules (note that some features are not available at this time).

7. Routing

E The routing termination mode can be switched between 3 modes. (Described above)// Switch between these two modes: pause the trace with a via and pause the trace without via.

LD toggles the current layer trace vertically and horizontally.

PL<n><n> sets the layer pair for the current operation. "n" can be either a layer number or a layer name. Such as PL 1 2 or

PL top bottom

SH push and squeeze mode ON/OFF switching. Turn push and squeeze mode on or off.

V<name> Select the via type, such as V standard via. Select the type of via currently in use.

VA automatically selects vias.

VP uses partial via.

VT selects to use via. Use through holes

T switches the view between transparent and normal mode

8. Drafting Objects

HC switches to Draw Circular Graphics mode.

HH switches to drawing non-enclosed graphics mode.

HP switches to Draw Polygon Graphics mode.

HR switches to Draw Rectangular Graphics mode.

9. Mouse Click Substitutes

M Activates the pop-up menu in the current functional mode, which is equivalent to a right-click.

Spacebar is equivalent to clicking the left mouse button at the current "ten" cursor position, such as increasing the trace corner.
