You need to use EasyEDA editor to create some projects before publishing

I am new to EasyEDA. I have managed to create a schematic and converted it into a pcb. First : I have difficulty moving between schematic and pcb eg. when in the pcb editor how do I move back to the schematic? Second : On converting to the pcb some of the electrolytic capacitor pins connections are reversed, eg. positive goes to ground. Can I change this in the pcb editor, or do I have to go back to the schematic? Third : In the pcb editor can I manually route tracks? Eddie Price

Hi Eddie and welcome 1) Just click on the Schematic tab ![Tabs][1] [1]: /editor/20170701/595794a1cf43a.JPG 2) I've not experienced this myself so i'm not sure whats going on here. I always do the routing manually anyway (see answer 3) Never Trust The Auto Router 3) Press the W key to manually route, press the L key while routing to change the angle of the trace. If you find routing a little difficult from say pin A to pin B, try it from pin B to A, it can make the world of difference and don't forget the thickness of the trace can be changed with the - + keys. I suggest starting off with a design that as 10-15 components and then just play around with it for a week or so trying all different options. Also, take a look at the HotKey shortcuts for hints.

Hi Eddie, `Second : On converting to the pcb some of the electrolytic capacitor pins connections are reversed, eg. positive goes to ground. Can I change this in the pcb editor, or do I have to go back to the schematic?` Can you make your project public or share it privately with *my_username*@easyeda.com ? https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/Share.htm#Sharing It is possible that there is a mistake in the pin assignment of the electrolytic cap symbol or PCB footprint which may need to be corrected. In the meanwhile please see our Tutorial which will help you in learning how to reassign schematic and PCB footprint pin mappings. https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/Schematic.htm#Pinmap-Modify-symbol-information https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/WhatsNew.htm#New-Footprint-Manager You can also reassign the pin names individually for any PCB footprint. Select the pads of the footprint and then edit them in the right hand panel. See also: https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/PCB.htm#Footprint-attributes
