Generate Solderpaste Stencil software is available as part of Phototooling Toolbox. Finds components and/or devices on a circuit board, integrates specifications and design rules; makes edits in an automated process. Component library tracks every project, identifying previously encountered components. Edits include automatic home plate, C-shaped and D-shaped pad generation, shifting, shrinking and growing by an amount or percent, heel and toe locking, and independent width and length edits. Edits can be set to round all corners on stencil geometry, set gaps for passive pairs, apply multiple edits with a single click, apply the same edits to standard and associated pads, and apply window-pane belly pad edits. Supported inputs include RS-274X, RS-274D, DXF, DWG, GDSII, ODB++ and DPF.
