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.

Description

Trace is an innovative PCB design platform tailored for hardware teams, guiding them from initial concept to a fully manufactured board. It integrates advanced schematic capture and PCB layout tools with smart agents that comprehend the context of hardware design. Users can articulate their project requirements in natural language, enabling Trace to conduct thorough research, produce complex multi-sheet schematics, interpret datasheets, recommend components, verify their availability in real time, arrange parts, route multi-layer boards, optimize matched-length signals, and perform essential checks like ERC and DRC along with design reviews. With a comprehensive library boasting over 30,000 symbols and footprints, the platform sources data from leading electronic distributors. Additionally, Plan Mode delves into intricate tasks, poses clarifying questions, devises a detailed action plan, and initiates execution only after receiving user approval. Moreover, TraceRules ensures that preferences regarding components, layout restrictions, and manufacturing objectives are consistently maintained throughout user interactions, facilitating a smoother design process. This comprehensive approach not only enhances efficiency but also streamlines collaboration within hardware teams.
