Common Pitfalls

Some common mistakes when creating projects in EasyEDA include:

• Not logging in before creating a project, which prevents saving your work.
• Leaving the project name blank or using special characters, causing errors.
• Choosing the wrong project type (e.g., schematic instead of PCB) and needing to start over.
• Not clicking Create after filling details, so the project does not open.

Always double-check your inputs and ensure you are logged in.

Wrong way:
1. Open EasyEDA without login
2. Click 'New Project'
3. Leave 'Project Name' empty
4. Click 'Create' (nothing happens or error)

Right way:
1. Login to EasyEDA
2. Click 'New Project'
3. Enter valid 'Project Name'
4. Select 'PCB'
5. Click 'Create' to open project

Quick Reference

Step	Action	Notes
1	Login to EasyEDA	Required to save projects
2	Click 'New Project'	Located on dashboard top right
3	Enter Project Name	Use simple names, no special chars
4	Add Description (optional)	Helps identify project later
5	Select Project Type	Choose PCB for board design
6	Click 'Create'	Opens project workspace

Key Takeaways

Always log in to EasyEDA before creating a project to save your work.

Provide a clear project name and select the correct project type (PCB) for your design.

Click 'Create' after entering details to open the project workspace.

Avoid special characters in project names to prevent errors.
