About lock or not to lock

[mulfycrowh]

Hi everyone,

the question is when you are done with a pcb design, do you lock everyhing on the board ?
I mean components, texts ...

I sometimes lock critical tracks e.g. memory interface by the end of the design. And I often lock connectors, mounting holes and critical components before actually starting layout.

robertferanec i do agree with you. It doesn't bring anything to lock everything.
I usually lock what is linked to mechanics.
