Milling checks can also be performed as a post process or any time during the PCB assembly panel design process. Additionally, compare milling patterns across all PCB images to ensure pattern match. User defined criteria includes mill tab keep in and keep out areas and minimal distances between mill tabs and adjacent objects. Enable milling error prevention mode to create error free milling patterns based on user-defined criteria. Milling Pattern Checks - New milling pattern checking features were introduced to prevent or analyze a PCB assembly panel design for potential milling errors. These updates improve the existing robust API to provide greater flexibility when creating custom applications that interact with BluePrint. New automation features include the ability to run BluePrint silently, prompt for a selection point, and the ability to retrieve geometry details from various BluePrint objects.
The new update to the user interface provides expedient access to commands, reduces the learning curve and expedites the adoption of BluePrint for creating PCB documentation.ĪPI Update - The application programming interface (API) was updated to increase the automation options available to users. Context sensitive ribbons with object specific commands and formatting options are presented for a selected item. User interface elements previously fixed to the application frame can be detached from the application or hidden from view until recalled allowing the user complete control over the viewable area. Commands that were previously several menu selections deep are now readily available from function specific ribbons. Toolbars and menus have been replaced with function-based ribbons. Updated User Interface - The User Interface was updated to more current Windows standards. General Enhancements - Specific enhancements include enhanced detection for back drills, laser vias, and global fiducials, netlist compare for no connect nets, and so much more. In addition, analysis for negative planes was expanded to include minimal width and minimal gap between copper elements and anti-pads.
By taking advantage of native parallel processing in current multi-core processor, analysis times over a sample of designs were 3 to 5 times faster when compared to previous non-multi-thread enabled versions.Įxpanded Support of Advanced Constructs and Design Techniques - New analysis options include trace to anti-pads on adjacent layers to validate 100% ground plane reference, and same net minimal spacing. Multi Threading Support - full support for multi-threading has been implemented into the core DFMStream analysis algorithms. ODB++ / IPC-2581 Support - full support is provided for the newer revisions of industry standard file format specifications including both import and export functions.
