Creating an enclosure to mount a PCB

This tutorial guides you through the process of creating a custom rackmount enclosure to mount a mini-ITX PCB using self-clinching fasteners, and create cutouts for the PCB, power supply, and fan.


Selecting height of self-clinching fasteners based on material thickness

This tutorial explains how to select the height of self-clinching fasteners, such as standoffs and studs, for mounting components to your enclosures.


Determining distance between objects

This tutorial shows techniques for using the Measure tool to accurately place and move objects on a face.


Creating a custom cutout for a connector

This tutorial guides you through creating a cutout to fit a custom connector and add it to the Cutout Library for future use.


Aligning cutouts on opposite faces

This tutorial shows you how to create cutouts that are aligned on opposite faces.
