Parallel threads in Flux

Flux can work on several design tasks at the same time. Each workstream has its own thread, so you can follow its progress and review its results.

Start parallel work

Describe the device and the parts of the design that can progress separately. Flux can work on the main board, daughterboards, and enclosure at the same time. Flux can also start work in separate projects and track each workstream in the thread sidebar.

  1. Open the project's Chat panel.

  2. Describe the separate workstreams in one request.

  3. Select Show All Threads to open the thread sidebar.

  4. Select a thread to read its messages, progress, and results.

  5. Open a thread's More menu and select Open in Split View to view it beside the current thread.

Design the main board, two daughterboards, and the enclosure in parallel. Keep the board outlines, connector positions, and mounting interfaces aligned. Report the progress and results here.

Work across projects

Start separate threads for work in different projects. Use the thread sidebar to follow each workstream and collect its results.

Flux keeps related work aligned. Changes that move an interface or resize a board wait for your approval. Review the proposed change in its thread before Flux applies it.

Example requests

Design the main board and two daughterboards in parallel. Keep the connector positions and board outlines aligned.
Route the power board while another thread checks the schematic and selects replacement components.
Design the enclosure base and lid in parallel. Keep mounting points and connector openings aligned.
Design the chassis and battery mount in parallel. Report interface changes before applying them.
