Description

ExpressPCB is thrilled to unveil a range of exciting upgrades to our ExpressPCB Plus software! Among these enhancements is the new Schematic Link and Netlist Validation feature, which ensures reliable design validation from schematic to layout before you begin manufacturing. This update enables users to seamlessly connect the schematic netlist from ExpressSCH to the PCB layout in ExpressPCB Plus. Additionally, we've introduced a "Net Connection" tool that allows users to easily highlight connected pads in a net, simplifying the board layout process. The software now offers comprehensive validation of the entire ExpressPCB Plus layout, ensuring it aligns with the ExpressSCH schematic netlist. Users will also benefit from detailed error reporting, identifying any missing or extra components, pins, connections, or other design elements. Errors can be highlighted, and users have the option to zoom in on specific locations for easier correction. This streamlined process allows for quick resolutions and validations in one convenient tool, and users can export error reports in Microsoft Excel format for further analysis. These enhancements aim to boost design accuracy and efficiency, making the entire process smoother for users.
