CircuitWorks shows build progress in a pane at the bottom of the CircuitWorks window.
CircuitWorks performs the following when building an assembly:
- Builds and saves models for any components not already in the Component Library.
- Models outlines or keep-out models required in the assembly if the option to build these items as component models rather than board features is enabled.
-
Builds a model for the board.
By default, CircuitWorks saves the part representing the board as
boardname.sldprt in the Outlines folder, where
boardname
is the name of the board in the ECAD data file. The assembly is named
boardname.sldasm, but is not saved automatically. You can configure how CircuitWorks names models and where they are saved.
- Builds an assembly and insert all the outlines and components in the correct positions.
