DipTrace Description
PCB Layout is a high level engineering tool for board design. It features smart manual routing of high speed and differential signals, shape based autorouter and advanced verification. It also has wide import/export capabilities. The design requirements are defined by net class rules, class-to class rules, and the specific settings by object types for each layer or class. DipTrace's design process includes real-time DRC. This allows for quick reporting of errors before they are made. The board can be viewed in 3D, and exported for mechanical CAD modeling. The final product will be of highest quality thanks to the design rule check. This includes detailed detailing, net connectivity verification, comparing to the source schematic, and an in-depth description. DipTrace is a single environment that allows for direct circuit-to board converting, updating from schematic, back annotation, and more. Nets can be divided into net classes using custom settings and rules that vary from class to class. Via styles can be used to organize through and blind/buried vias.
