Pushing footprints from schematic to PCB

- So now, if we're happy with our electrical schematic, and we've set up the basics for our PCB design here, with the layer stack manager and grids and units and we're happy with all of that, the next logical step might be to try and push all of my electrical components from my schematic, so if I take a look at that schematic we've drawn up something here, so we have a number of electrical components placed on my schematic end here. And now what I'd like to do is essentially try to push all of these electrical components onto my PCB board here. So to do this, fairly simple process. Well that's just a click of a button, hopefully. So we've a few options if we're in our board design document here. Just go into my home tab and my project dropdown here. And I have this option, update schematics, which will update the schematic end of things. And import changes from schematics, so that's gonna try to import all of that schematic information into my PCB document. Very similarly, if I was in…
