Detail view

Overview of Quilter’s board detail viewer, describing controls for inspecting board layers, toggling visibility of objects by layer or globally, and navigating layout details.

Overview

Quilter's "Detail View" lets you take a closer look at specific board layers and object classes within your layout candidate.

You can access the full-screen "Detail View" by clicking the "Detail View" button in the top-right corner of the board preview component.

Supported controls

Quilter's board viewer includes the following controls to help with inspecting and reviewing Quilter-generated layout candidates:

Control	Description
2D mode	The default viewing style displays your design in a locked birds-eye view without three-dimensional features.
3D mode	Displays a 3D perspective of your board with a materials-based visual theme. Enables free rotation.
Flip icon	Quickly flip your board from front to back
Quick find	Locate and switch to a specific camera angle for a particular component or pin within your design.

Layer/object navigation

Quilter's tag tree picker provides access to all board object classes through two different organizational views:

1. Control object visibility by layer The first set of controls lets you toggle the visibility of all objects on a specific layer or expand the nested tree structure to toggle the visibility of individual objects on that layer. These toggles are always available, even if there are no objects on that layer – for example, if there are no pours on LAYER_1.

   Layer-level toggles are helpful for inspecting individual layers of your PCB at a time.

2. Control global object visibility The second set of controls lets you toggle the global visibility of specific object classes across all layers. These toggles are always available, even if there are no instances of that object in your design – for example, if there are no placement regions defined for your layout job. Global-level toggles are useful for inspecting trace paths that span multiple layers of your board.
