Title: Rigid Flex PCB in Circuit Studio
Post by: ntsiv on January 18, 2018, 07:32:17 am

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to design Rigid Flex boards in CS.
According to Altium documentation the Layer Stack Manager needs to have an 'Advanced' option for creating multiple stacks and this option doesn't seem to be available in CS.

Which PCB manufacturer are you using and what are their requirements for submitted data?

err, what difference does it make ? I have created designs in proteus and would do the same in CS, I just have to check with the manufacturer what their requirements are. Usually you can do 2 layers but try to keep it to one.

I've used "standard" PCB tools for flex boards. Don't see any reason CS wouldn't work just as well.
