footprint resources used for the PCB can be easily distributed with the PCB file. Chapter 3. General operations 3.1. Toolbars and commands In Pcbnew it is possible to execute commands using various means: operation in progress. The screenshot below illustrates some of the possible accesses to these operations: 3.2. Mouse commands 3.2.1. Basic commands Left button Single-click selects and displays the mouse wheel will allow you to zoom in and zoom out. Right button Displays a pop-up menu with the operations permitted on the element under the cursor. In high density designs there can be so many elements
