Pulsonix 8.5Panel Editor Panel DesignsThe new Panel Editor feature allows customers to take control over pre-fabrication processes. It enables multi-PCB designs to be panelised ready for plotting and on into the manufacturing stage. The Panel Editor is more than just a plotting station; it allows panelisation of designs, addition of test coupons, fiducial markers, documentation and fabrication details. New facilities within it allow tab-routing paths to be defined. With control over the addition of tab direction, tab thickness, tab spacing and mouse bites, it enables accurate manufacture-ready breakout tabs to be created. V-Score paths can be added using the shape tools and then processed for manufacture, all within the Panel Editor environment. Design Reuse Apply Layout PatternMultiple group selection for...

Mentor.Graphics.Calibre.2015.1for linuxCalibre® is the overwhelming market share leader and the industry standard for IC physical verification, due to the outstanding performance, accuracy and reliability of Calibre products. Over the last two years, Calibre nmDRC™ has reduced average DRC runtime by a factor of five, while Calibre\’s innovative Hyperscaling and MTFlex™ technologies have cut memory requirements in half. Calibre nmDRC also reduced overall cycle time with incremental DRC, which allows designers to make DRC runs in parallel. As DRC violations are reported, designers can immediately fix and recheck just the affected areas, while the initial DRC run continues. To handle complex and multi-variate, multi-dimensional checks that are not adequately addressed by traditional design rules, Calibre nmDRC\’s equation-based DRC (eqDRC) capability enables...

Aperture lists are visually displayed, and you can just point-and-click to define columns, shape types, etc. GerbTool automatically builds your rule file, and lets you save it so it can be used again. OptimizationsEverything you need to optimize a design for manufacturing is just a mouse-click away with GerbTool. Functions such as Draw-to-Flash conversion, Teardropping, converting those nasty special pad shapes (the ones that are always drawn)...

SynaptiCAD.Product.Suite.v20.01SynaptiCAD was founded by electrical engineers to create design tools that helped engineers think critically about their designs. Being engineers themselves, they were frustrated by having to almost complete a design before being able to get simulation results. Our founders decided that there must be a better approach for interacting with design tools and from this simple idea they created SynaptiCAD, a company that creates \”tools for the thinking mind\”. This idea permeates all of our tool interfaces.With SynaptiCAD\’s tools you are able to begin analyzing and simulating design ideas right away without having to complete an entire circuit model or schematic. Our tools automatically handle many of the minor details involved in the design effort, leaving you more time...
