The 15th version of GerbTool has a host of new features and technology, such as HyperNETLIST generation, that have been handed down from VisualCAM. It increases netlist generation performance over competitive tools by 5 to 10X. This release contains a series of enhancements to help users increase throughput. • HyperNETLIST Comparison performance has been increased 5X over previous releases, while Draw-to-Flash Conversion has been increased 5-10X. • Pin-Point Error feature reduces user effort when trying to locate a Short or Open condition. • Automatic Draw-to-Flash conversion function reduces “hands-on” user time. • Improvements to Paste Mask Stencil Enhancement offer more control during shape replacement. Increased control minimizes the iterations required to achieve desired mask results. • For Release May 15th, 2006 Includes 100+ additional enhancements to existing features, ranging from improvements to Gerber file handling to better handling of previous users’ settings when upgrading. Has revised product configurations for GT-Communicator, GT-Inspector, and GT-Designer to include support for ODB++, ODB++ (X) and IPC-2581. All of these interfaces will cover both importing and exporting. WISE Software Solutions, wssi.com
