Embedded Layer Setup
Upon completion of your property assignments, the next step in the embedded component
flow is to enable layer(s) of the stack-up as embedded. The Cross Section Editor (since
17.2) drives the definition of embedded layers as well as component direction and
global parameters. Following examples explains some popular embedded component
strategies that are supported in the PCB Editor.
Single Layer Mounted
This may be the most common methodology at the time. Components are directly soldered
or glued on a single base layer. Dielectric thickness supports the height of the tallest
component mounted.
■ Embedded Status is set to either Body up or "Body Down
■ Attach Method is set to Direct Attach or Indirect Attach
