Open Fusion and create a New Electronics Design
Simplify the layout by clicking on the X shown in the image to close the Project Browser.
Click on the new schematic button
Click on the Place Component icon
Now that we have access to the parts, we want to add an LED. Search for the item by typing LED_Radial into the component library search box.
Double-click the name of the item to use it.
The cursor is now a schematic symbol of the item you chose. Rotate or Mirror it if you want, then click on the workspace, somewhere close to the registration mark, to place a single instance of the symbol. Then press escape.
Now search for a 1/8th watt small resistor. Type R-US_AXIAL-7.2MM. You may get more than one option but either will work.
Add the resistor to the workspace, just above the LED. You may need to rotate the resistor using the transform panel.
Now search for a coin cell battery holder.
Type coin. You'll get a number of options. Choose: 79578211
What if I don't see that part?
You may not have the library turned on. Make sure you're still in the "Place Part" men.
Click on the library manager icon.
2. Search for battery_holder
You should see a few options. Make sure the Hetal@PCBlayout option is turned on.
Add the coin cell holder symbol to the workspace, just above the resistor. If you need to, rotate the item using the transform panel.
Now search for a specific switch. Type TOGGLE to find the slide switch shown here
Add the slide switch symbol to the workspace, just above the resistor. If you need to, rotate the item using the transform panel.
To connect the symbols together, choose the Net connection tool from the top of the screen. Draw a line between each of the symbols to connect them together, making sure that the negative side of the LED is connected back to the negative terminal of the battery. In this example I had to flip the battery to simplify the connections.
Your schematic is complete. Save it before we turn it into a printed circuit board (PCB).
When saving, you probably want to organize your files into folders. The files are saved in the Fusion cloud.
