Thank you for your feedback @AnshumanFauzdar!
Here is my workflow:
- First, I check for available documentation, such as schematic and dimensional drawings in the form of .dxf files.
- From the schematic, I extract the names of the main components, focusing only on the most relevant ones.
- I perform a quick Google search to find these components on websites. Sometimes, I find step files for these components already available. If not, I refer to the datasheet and create the component myself using Fusion360.
- Once I have gathered all the components as step files, I proceed to align them correctly.
- To align the components, I use the .dxf files. However, Fusion360 sometimes struggles to process these files due to their structure. With patience and some cleanup, I resize the .dxf and align it with the board.
- The next step involves simple cleanup and polishing, such as assigning colors to the components.
- Finally, I begin the rendering process using Fusion360.
