CAM350 version 10.5, for verification and optimization of printed circuit boards, features DesignAnalyzer, a new method to analyze contents and complexity of a PCB design against the capabilities of the PCB fabricator. Analyzes overall complexity of the design for quoting purposes or for deciding which fabricator is qualified to manufacture it. Includes paste mask analysis, which checks designs for proper inclusion and sizing of paste masks. Improved interface with BluePrint PCB permits fiducials, tooling and breakout tab drills to be passed into CAM350. Incorporates Large Address Aware. Support newer releases of AutoCAD. Copper Slivers, Mask Sliver, Track to Pad and Track to Track analysis are updated for performance and accuracy. Drill to copper checks now permit the exclusion of indicator pads to limit the number of errors reported to the user. “Pads without Drills” has been updated to ignore non circular pads in the same location, which has caused false positives in the past.
