SAN DIEGO – Altium Limited has released Service Pack 3 (SP3) for P-CAD 2004, Altium’s PCB design system for layout professionals. It is available as a free download to existing licensed P-CAD 2004 customers and is said to have over 160 new features and enhancements that offer greater ease-of-use and flexibility in the design process.
The P-CAD TIES Viewlogic/ePD interface now allegedly supports eProduct Designer (ePD) 2004 SP1. The TIES utility reportedly allows the transfer of electrical design information between the Viewlogic/ePD CAE design tools and P-CAD’s tools, and offers cross probing plus forward/backward annotation. The PADS to P-CAD translator has been updated to handle non-English characters, enabling support for foreign languages, as well as supporting newer versions of PADS (up to and including version 2005.1).
Default settings for such items as apertures, design rules, grid settings and pad styles can supposedly be stored and applied automatically to new designs. A new “Save to File” option has been added to the Library Executive that allows incomplete data to be saved to a separate file and reloaded to continue work at another time. |
