When creating a design in Multisim, you may run into situations where a particular component may not exist in the standard Multisim component library.  To make it easy for you to complete your design with your specified parts, Multisim includes a Component Wizard to quickly step you through the creation of a custom part.  This online tutorial walks you through an example component creation and illustrates each step with guidelines and graphics.

Ultiboard: Setting the Reference Point of a Component
The reference point is a location on the PCB that has the coordinates (0,0). All measurements on the board are made relative to this point. The reference point can be visually identified on a board by the reference point icon, which looks like a set of crosshairs.

Ultiboard: Component Heights in 3D
A critical step in designing printed circuit boards is ensuring that the physical dimensions of the board will fit within case or enclosure for which it is designed. An ill-fitted board can lead to delayed shipments due to lengthy redesign phases, patched work-arounds, or even early failure because of unpredicted stress on the board or components. An automated way of ensuring that all components placed on a board will fit into their enclosures helps save you valuable time and money.  The Ultiboard database contains height information about all its components, and you can use Ultiboard's powerful 3D board view to display the height of specified components.
