Checks over 300 items
-
Take assembly and manufacturing into consideration
Analysis Modules
Surface Analyzer
-
Surface Analyzer analyzes design errors for surface and symbols and creates a report to list all the findings
-
Surface Analyzer only provide analysis check, does not change layout content
-
Required to change line drawn copper surface to surface feature first
-
For detailed guide, Please refer to
Surface Analyzer
Drill Checks
-
Drill Checks analyzes drill layer for design errors and creates a report to list all the findings
-
Drill Checks only provide analysis check, does not change layout content
-
For detailed guide, Please refer to
Drill Checks
Board Drill Checks
-
Board Drill Checks analyzes drill hole spacings in board layers and creates a report to list all the findings
-
Checks spacings for both drill and rout holes in the same layer
-
Board Drill Checks only provide analysis check, does not change layout content
-
Prerequisite:
-
Drill attribute
.drill
must be assigned to drill holes, to distinguish PTH/NPTH/Via holes
-
Drill and rout layer must be defined in the matrix
-
For detailed guide, Please refer to
Board Drill Checks
Signal Layer Checks
-
Signal Layer Checks analyzes signal layers for design errors and creates a report to list all the findings
-
Signal Layer Checks only provide analysis check, does not change layout content
-
For detailed guide, Please refer to
Signal Layer Checks
Power/Ground Checks
-
Power/Ground Checks analyzes power/ground layers for design errors and creates a report to list all the findings
-
Power / Ground Check use different analysis method for positive and negative layers
-
For thermal pad analysis, thermal pads are required to be in negative layer and drawn with thermal symbols
-
Power / Ground Checks only provide analysis check, does not change layout content
-
