East guide science and technology on the copy board Series 8: copy board software selection 【PCB copy board】
Update date：2012-6-26
Copy board software is one of the most important part of the copy board, copy board software currently on the market used above are mostly protel company's products, Protel 99se, Protel-the DXP, the PADS design PCB software copy board, on the one hand, more smoothly, the student is learning the software, the other hand, some software has finished a good entry.
For beginner copy board, I recommend a Quickpcb2005, the software is the software foundation of the protel 99se above has been modified, and copy the board unrelated to delete, retain and copy board tools and key to the health settings to shortcut District. The biggest advantages of the software, the software without having to learn to operate the many thoughtful design features allow operation even easier, you can greatly enhance your work efficiency and accuracy of file can be easily ferreted out the sophisticated multilayer FPC.
In order to facilitate the novice to understand and use, we introduce some of the features and description: 1, place the pad, hole, line, arc, through-hole components, the FILL, POLYGON, text; each element attribute set grid set; the CTRL key to automatically capture the center of the grid with the elements; 4, the SHIFT key to select, to select, cut, copy, delete, rotate, mirror and repeat function; 5,32 layer settings, zoom display; arbitrarily set origin ; 7, design accuracy: Polyimide, 1 mil; 8, comes with the the B2P format can read BMP, JPG picture, automatic BMP read the resolution. 9, call the system calculator function; copy rotation and mirror functions; 10, select elements to move the small "+" cursor function; 11 three-point draw arcs function ...
Also recommend a future most people use software Cadence Design Systems, Cadence the company's electronic design automation (Electronic Design Automation) products cover the entire electronic design process, including system-level design, functional verification, IC integrated and layout analog, mixed signal and RF IC design, full custom IC design, IC physical verification, PCB design, and hardware simulation modeling. The biggest advantages of its software is a powerful, complete, Cadence PCB design solutions, including the widest range of fully scalable PCB design techniques, which are applicable to the most complex high-speed designs from the most simple circuit board . If you need to design a PCB, I recommend this software to everyone.
