What's new?

  • ActiveRoute™
    ActiveRoute is a ground-breaking interactive routing technology. It routes using the design rules for widths and clearances by net, net class, rooms, and layers. It does not add any vias because it uses a River Routing approach. Therefore, it is imperative to fanout the design first before routing on inner layers. It is fast, really fast. It has a focus on quality, both subjective and objective quality.
    It is very important that users follow the instructions in the technical documentation. If they don't, the routing will fail.

  • Draftsman improvements
    - Support for Ordinate (single reference) dimensions
    - Implemented a Custom Table
    - Dual Unit capability for Dimensions and for global Document Options
    - New way to represent components in the Assembly View (Body Projection Outline)
    - Ability to enable separate colors for SMD and through-hole pads on an Assembly View

  • Back drilling
    Back drilling is a technique used to remove the unused portion, or stub, of a copper barrel from a thru-hole in a printed circuit board. When a high-speed signal travels between PCB layers through a copper barrel, it can be distorted. If the signal layer usage results in a stub being present, and the stub is long, then that distortion can become significant. See the technical documentation for more information.

  • Smart Copper Editing
    Smart Copper makes the exercise of creating and editing copper less intensive and more user-friendly. Now it is possible to combine, split, and edit existing polygons by extending it. New modes of editing apply to all objects based on polygons - polygons, regions, and the boundaries of the circuit board. See the technical documentation for more information.

  • Other improvements include:
    - Selection & Display improvements
    - New Project Releaser
    - New Post-route Glossing Tool
    - Design Rule Improvements
    - Dynamic Cross Probing and Cross-Selecting
    - Layer Stack Management Enhancements
    - Parameters in PCB Footprints
    - Improved Cross Selection
    - New Pick and Place Generator
    • Additional Enhancements and Improvements
    • Improved Outjobs to support PDF/A for use as an Output Container
    • Improved Undo-Redo functions
    • Added support to automatically register all exporters and Save As formats as Export Outputs
    • Clicking the DRC report will bring you to PC
