Description

PCB Layout is an advanced engineering tool designed for creating printed circuit boards, incorporating intelligent manual routing for high-speed and differential signals, a shape-based autorouter, thorough verification processes, and extensive import/export functionalities. The design specifications are established through net classes, class-to-class regulations, and precise settings tailored to various object types within each class or layer. DipTrace enhances the design workflow with real-time design rule checks (DRC), instantly notifying users of errors before they can be committed. A 3D preview of the board is available, allowing for exportation to mechanical CAD systems for further modeling. The thorough design rule checks, net connectivity validations, and comparisons with the source schematic guarantee the highest quality output of the finished product. Operating within a unified environment, DipTrace allows seamless transitions from circuit designs to board layouts, with capabilities for updating from the schematic and performing back annotation. Nets are categorized into net classes that come with customizable settings, alongside class-to-class rules for enhanced organization. Additionally, vias are systematically arranged according to their styles, including through and blind/buried types, ensuring a structured and efficient design process. The comprehensive features of DipTrace make it an essential tool for engineers looking to streamline their PCB design efforts while maintaining high standards of quality.
