Building Only Top and Bottom Conductive Layers

You can set up CircuitWorks to model only the top and bottom conductive layers in SolidWorks to save build time.

To model only the top and bottom conductive layers when building in SolidWorks:

In SolidWorks, click CircuitWorks > CircuitWorks Options .
In the dialog box, click SolidWorks Import, and for Conductive layer modeling, select Only top and bottom layers (faster).
Click OK.
