Free printed circuit board software package adds advanced features
Additional features have been added to free-of-charge software package DesignSpark PCB PRO, which aims to allow organisations with larger engineering teams or more demanding requirements to access a low-cost, seamless migration path to advanced printed circuit board (PCB) design and manufacturing features.
The software forms part of the DesignSpark range from RS Components, a trading brand of Electrocomponents, and is said to provide advanced features that are normally supported only in professional PCB design software.
New users can now purchase a perpetual licence for DesignSpark PCB PRO directly through an RS Components account, while existing PRO v9 customers can upgrade to the v10 version.
The new version offers a number of additional capabilities, including:
- New Disconnect from Signal Nets option
- Component-to-Component SMT check
- Output Drill Data to Gerber
- Library Item time stamps
- Improvements to New Component Wizard
According to the company, existing customers also requested a number of other features that have been included in the latest version of DesignSpark PCB PRO, V10.0, such as intelligent backups, new design rule checks, new Nets bar, manufacturability enhancements and plotting enhancements.
