Main Design

set-main-module

defn set-main-module (module:Instantiable)

Define the "main" module of the current design.

Syntax

pcb-module main-module :
  ...

set-main-module(main-module)

Description

The main module is the root of the entire JITX design, and is analogous to a "root" schematic sheet.

set-board

defn set-board (board:Board)

Sets the pcb-board object used by the current design.

Syntax

pcb-board my-board :
  ...

set-board(my-board)

Description

This specifies the pcb-board which defines the stackup, board outline, and signal boundary of the physical board used in the design.

Multi-board designs require separate calls to set-design, set-board, etc.

set-rules

defn set-rules (rules:Rules)

Set the design rules for the current design.

Syntax

pcb-rules jlc-pcb-rules :
  ...

set-rules(jlc-pcb-rules)

Description

The design rules takes the name of a pcb-rules as an argument and configures the design rules used for generators and checks in the current design. This will be cleared on calls to set-design.

set-default-rules

defn set-default-rules (rules:Rules)

Sets the default rules for all designs in the current program.

Syntax

pcb-rules jlc-pcb-rules :
  ...

set-default-rules(jlc-pcb-rules)

Description

Default rules differ from design rules set in set-rules in that they are not cleared between designs, and serves as temporary or default values for design rules so generators can make progress even if you have not set the rules for your design.

Default rules can also be used to share design rules in multi-design programs.

clear-default-rules

defn clear-default-rules ()

Syntax

  clear-default-rules()

Description

Removes default rules if they are set. This is primarily used for testing.
