View the schematics

Once you have imported documents you can start viewing them by tapping on them in the library. Use the tab bar at the bottom to choose the schematics viewer.

Navigating in the layout

You can pan, zoom and navigate the layout as you do with images in the Photos App of iOS. Pinch to zoom in or out of the layout.

You can swipe down to go to the next sheet or up to go to the previous sheet. Copper will remember the current zoom and scroll position and will restore it if you come back to that sheet. 

Please note: This is only possible if you have fully zoomed out the current sheet. Zoomed in a swipe gesture will only move the sheet around. If you want to keep the current zoom level, choose another sheet with the sheet selector.

Sheet overview and selecting a sheet 

Tap the sheet icon to see an overview of all available sheets. Tap on a sheet to select it. You will be brought back to the schematics viewer, which now displays the select sheet. Please note, that the zoom level and scroll position are saved and restored if you switch between sheets.

Selecting signals and parts

Long pressing will display a magnification loupe that will make it easier to select parts and signals. Once you long press panning with your finger will no longer scroll the view but drag the loupe around. A small circle indicates the selection area. Bring it over a signal or part to highlight it.

A small tooltip above the loupe displays the name of the part or signal. This way you can quickly find the signal or part you are searching for, or get the name of it.

Copper will show the selected part or signal in the part browser and will highlight it in the layout.

Please note: If you have way zoomed in Copper will not display the magnification loupe as signals and parts are so large that you can just selected them with your finger.
