| * Lastly, the PCB Design by itself. Based upon your components list and associated footprints , you can create the PCB by placing footprints at the right place and make routing between them (which is connecting components footprints by making copper paths). You can also use the famous 3D viewer to see a simulation of the result. | * Lastly, the PCB Design by itself.
