Five-Minute Tour¶
Goal¶
Take the shortest possible path through the app, experience the most important current value, and quickly judge whether this version is ready for day-to-day review and communication.
Supported Platforms¶
iOSmacOS
Intended Audience¶
- Users who want a quick confidence check before deeper use
- Testers who need a short smoke path through the current UI
Prerequisites¶
- A sample or real board document is available in the library
- If you want to validate 3D, use a sample that can form a board session
- If you want to complete export end to end, export access should already be unlocked
Steps¶
- Open one document from the library and move through
2D,Data, and, when applicable,3D. - Use
Workbench,View Info, andAIonce each so the main workspace paths are exercised. - Return to
2Dand try one export, or confirm the expected purchase-center redirect when export access is still locked.
Result¶
- You can quickly confirm whether the current build is usable for routine inspection, navigation, and export-related workflows.
Recommended Samples¶
- If you want to validate
2D / 3D / Datatogether, start withh730duinoorBluePhilfrom the library. - If you mainly care about the import path, bring in one of your own
DSNorKiCadfiles.
Five-Minute Route¶
- Open a document from the library.
- In
2D, do one pan, one zoom, and one object selection. - In 2D, right-click or long-press a target, choose
View Info, and confirm that the info card appears and can be copied. - Open
Workbenchand confirm the default sections areVisibility,Selection Filter, andObjects. - In
Objects, search for one item and try at least one action fromLocate / Highlight / Isolate / Clear. - Switch to
Dataand confirm that the current document, revision, statistics, issue summaries, andQuick Estimate / Revision Quoteare visible. - If the current document has formed a board session, switch to
3Dand confirm that the board-level view finishes loading. - Open
AI. If no AI service is set up yet, confirm that the setup card points you toSettings > AI. If an AI service is already configured, confirm thatDiagnose SelectionandChatare available, and that the advanced AI details card can be opened. - Return to
2Dand try one export. If the app opens the purchase center first, that means export access has not been unlocked on this device yet. - Go back to the library and reopen the same document.





If You Open a KiCad Project or Schematic¶
In the five-minute route, also confirm:
- Open
Projectand check that project source documents, libraries, and settings are grouped. - Switch from
ProjectorSheetsto a schematic sheet, and confirm the breadcrumb and current-sheet content refresh together. - In schematic Workbench
Search, switch betweenCurrent Sheet / Whole Projectand search for a symbol, net, or label. - Click a result and confirm the sheet switches and the target becomes selected; after
Locate / Highlight / Clear, the canvas and details panel stay in sync. - Pick a symbol, pin, wire, or label directly on the schematic canvas and confirm
Selection / Detailsand canvas highlight update together.
What You Should Be Able to Confirm¶
- Navigation between the library and the workspace works normally.
- The 2D, object-info-card, and Workbench paths are all usable.
- The
Dataview provides document and status summaries. - Board-level design documents can enter 3D.
- The
AIpanel shows the expected setup gate when no AI service is configured, or supportsDiagnose Selection / Chatplus advanced cards when configuration is ready. - The 2D export path works, or in a locked state correctly redirects to the purchase center.
Things Worth Watching¶
- During import or first open, the viewer may briefly switch to
Datato show preparation status. This is normal. - The first 3D load shows explicit stages and percentages instead of silently hanging.
- Export starts from
2D; in3DorData, return to2Dbefore exporting. - If export access is still locked, tapping export will open the purchase center instead of starting the export right away.
- If you need a support-ready snapshot,
More > Copy Support Bundleshould include issue details, Quick Estimate state, AI activity summary, and recent reproduction clues without including AI credentials.
Common Questions¶
Why do I sometimes see Data first when opening a document?¶
During import or view preparation, the app may temporarily prioritize the Data page and its loading card. Once the first 2D frame is ready, normal browsing resumes.
Do I always need to validate 3D?¶
No. 3D requires the current document to form a board session with enough board-level geometry. For samples that do not meet that condition, focus on 2D, Data, and export.
Why did tapping export open a purchase page instead?¶
That is the current expected behavior. When export access has not been unlocked yet, the workspace opens the purchase center first. After unlocking, return to 2D and export again.
