Enhancing Your PCB Ordering Experience: Updated Placement Screen

By Parker Dillmann  |  May 24, 2023

We are thrilled to announce significant improvements to the placement screen for the PCB uploading process on our platform. These enhancements are designed to refine your ordering process, enhance usability, and ultimately save you valuable time.

Streamlining the Workflow

One of the most impactful changes we've made is the removal of the unnecessary step of approving your placements before ordering. This simplification of the workflow means that you can move directly from uploading your design to placing your order without any intermediate steps. By eliminating this step, we have made the process faster and more efficient, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your project.

Powerful Placement Tool

In addition to improving workflow, we have introduced a powerful new tool that allows you to quickly and easily find specific placements within your design. This tool is designed to help you navigate complex designs with ease, ensuring that you can locate and verify placements swiftly. Whether you're working on a simple project or a complex assembly, this tool will enhance your ability to manage and review your design effectively.

Enhanced Usability

These enhancements are not just about making the process faster; they are about making it more user-friendly. By improving the placement screen, we aim to provide a more intuitive and seamless experience. This not only benefits you as the user but also aids our engineering review team in efficiently identifying and resolving any placement issues. The result is a smoother, more efficient process from design to production.

Optimized for Efficiency

Our goal with these updates is to optimize your entire ordering experience. With the unnecessary steps removed and powerful new tools at your disposal, you can place orders with greater confidence and ease. These improvements ensure that both electrical and mechanical components are handled within a single, unified system, making project management more efficient and less time-consuming.
