Pulsonix 8.5 schematic capture/PCB design software now outputs in Gerber X2 and exports netlists in IPC-2581. New Panel Editor feature controls pre-fabrication processes, enabling multi-PCB designs to be panelized, and adds test coupons, fiducial markers, documentation and fabrication details. Defines tab-routing paths. Multiple group selection for design reuse has been added to enhance current reuse placement algorithm. When a selection has been made, this can now be applied to multiple groups in the design. Once placement has been made, multiple positional rearrangement options can also be applied to the existing design using a new placement pattern from the original design. Introduces dynamic graphical positioning tool for adding STEP models to the footprint, for accurate visual association between the two items.
