How do I access the schematic capture?

[Eric Haugen]

Quite frequently we get asked "I just downloaded PCB123 and I can't find the schematic capture!"
To access the schematic capture part of the program, you must start a new project.

• Start PCB123
  Complete the new board wizard by giving your board a name
  Give it dimensions
  Select the number of layers and if you want the inner layers used as planes
  Select any additional features you may want and click finish

Now you should be at the layout screen and see your basic board outline. From here you will see four tabs at the bottom of your screen, the Main Schematic tab is the farthest right one.
