Integr8tor 2015.06 pre-CAM and engineering software offers broader drill support, allowing nonstandard holes to be identified automatically and processed, including countersink or counterbore holes that are to be enlarged in a specific way, or holes to be filled with resin or copper. Calculates the number of press cycles a board will go through from the drill spans, to identify and cost potential production bottlenecks.

Features increased support of and compatibility with a wide range of data formats. Generates PDF files in color and black/white more reliably and accurately from source documents in .docx, dwg and dxf formats. Converted files are said to remain faithful to the originals, with functional drop-down menus and checkboxes. Recognizes more edge-connector and SMD pad shapes; has a new algorithm that improves calculation of spacing between lines of the same net; and a new “auto-snap” feature improves annular ring analysis by automatically placing plated drill holes in the center of copper pads. Flags overlapping holes within drill sequences. QED XML files now enable technologies and capability classes to be identified quickly and easily, together with their critical parameter values, and now allows tailoring of which checks are run.
