CR-8000 2015.1 single and multi-board design software performs true 3D checks of multi-board designs can be carried out against all aspects of a product, including the enclosure. Includes improved accuracy in layer configuration design work through transfer of layer configuration data with Polar Instruments Speedstack. Design Force enables design teams to create any design from quick prototype boards to complex, multi-board systems using a single tool. Improves accuracy of 3D checks by using a true 3D component model with a precisely-matched 3D shape, rather than a shape defined by a boundary box. Accurate shape parts can be used for collision checks and 3D clearance checks. Layer configuration data can be transferred to Speedstack, removing the need to re-input stackup data. Creates line shapes considering the production yield ratio and signal quality. When routing with the track/route differential pair/bundle route command, the track width now changes automatically on boundary of a rule area. New export formats for outputting waveforms in the waveform viewer, improving efficiency in documenting and reporting signal results for engineering information and review.

IsoPro 3.2 software produces isolation data in G-Code format, permitting the manufacture of printed circuit boards on Quick Circuit in an hour from the time schematic and layout are completed. Upgraded Contact-by-Touch feature on Quick Circuit QCJ5 calibrates depth of cut with the tool touching off the surface of material in an average of 5 sec. from the time the tool has changed. Enhanced Real time milling progress allows automatic alignment of multilayer PCBs in the lab.
