LED Matrix Grid Layout

poophappens — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 22:19:43 GMT

I’m creating a flexible pcb with 440 3mm LEDs (40 columns 11 rows). I’m building it as a derived pcb from a sketch outline in Fusion360. After I’ve created my schematic with 440 LEDs what’s the most efficient way to layout my grid of led footprints? Is there a pattern tool for laying out components or do I have to use snap grid for each led manually? Should I make a pattern with 3mm circles in my sketch that I can use as a guide to lay out my components?

Hello @poophappens ,

You can use the arrange function to arrange the 440 LEDs in one go. You don't need to add 3mm circles to the sketch. You could do the grid technique if you want but arrange would be the most efficient way.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,
