Documentation › Getting started

Quick start

[One line: a 5-minute walk through a typical job — bring in coordinates, generate holes, check clearances, export.]

The companion window

TODO: [Brief tour — header (drawing-connection status · profile combo · ⚙ Settings), the accordion sections (Hole / Units / Clearance / DUT Array — one open at a time), the bottom status/progress strip. Screenshot.]

1. Bring in your coordinates

TODO: [Either select existing geometry in AutoCAD, or import from Excel — x,y,r for circles, x,y,w,h for rectangles. Mention column aliases / mapping → Settings. Link to Operations › Holes from Excel.]

2. Generate / convert holes

TODO: [Circle → rectangle at centers, or place objects on circle centers. Set sizes. → Operations › Hole conversion.]

3. Check clearances (DRC)

TODO: [Select the holes, set the minimum clearance, run the check, read the result strip, inspect highlighted violations, optionally export the debug DXF. → Operations › Clearance check.]

4. Number pins and export

TODO: [Pin numbering, then hole info → CSV (coordinates, sizes, pin numbers). Output options → Settings. → Operations › CAD → CSV.]

Other tools

TODO: [DUT array generation (with row/column skip), µm ↔ mm conversion, polyline/rectangle rotation about center — see Operations.]
