Macros Sprint Layout | 6.0 Fixed

In Sprint Layout 6.0, there are two main ways to edit a macro, depending on your goal.

Switch to the and use lines, circles, or arcs to draw the physical outline of the component.

Result: A complex, proven layout reused in minutes, not hours.

Ensure pads are on copper layers and outlines are on silkscreen layers to prevent errors during board production. Macros Sprint Layout 6.0

: If you find community collections on sites like GitHub , simply extract the files into a new folder within the "Makros" directory of your Sprint-Layout installation. Creating Custom Macros :

: In version 6.0, macros can be defined as "components," allowing you to assign properties like names and values for better project management. How to Use and Manage Macros

: Navigate the tree-view, select your component, and drag it into the workspace. In Sprint Layout 6

Spend 30 minutes creating macros for every custom component you’ve used in the past year. You’ll thank yourself on your next project.

Sprint Layout struggles with thermal reliefs (spokes) for SMD pads connected to large copper pours.

If you drag a macro onto your board but need to modify just one specific pad for a unique trace path, right-click the component and select Break component apart . This converts the macro back into independent pads and lines, allowing isolated edits. Ensure pads are on copper layers and outlines

Maintains uniform spacing, pad sizes, and hole diameters across your entire schematic. How to Use the Built-In Macro Library

Sprint-Layout 6.0 , a "macro" is a saved section of a PCB layout—typically a component footprint (like a resistor, chip, or connector)—that you can reuse across multiple projects.
