SeriesEFA CAMverse compact · episode 04 of 06 Feature in focusWhich pads belong to a net, and what does the assembled board look like? With EFA CAMverse you find any net via the netlist or with a click in the layout, follow it across the layers and see the assembled board in 3D.
The same questions come up again and again before production. The answers are in the data, but they are not visible at a glance.
The netlist is in the data, but as text. It does not show where a net lies on the board or which layers it runs across.
Layer images show copper, solder mask and silkscreen. They do not show how the components stand in space or how close they sit to the edge.
You check nets and components directly in the data. Netlist and layout are in the same tool, and you see the assembled board in 3D right alongside.
One click switches from the layer view to the 3D view.
This lets you judge how densely and how close to the edge the components really sit and whether that could cause a problem.
More about the 3D view →You check nets, vias and the assembled board before production starts.
One tool for nets, layout and 3D.
From the formats that contain nets, for example ODB++, IPC-2581 or EAGLE. EFA CAMverse also opens the IPC-D-356 test netlist, with the netlist pane and highlight.
Yes. You follow the highlighted net across different layers. Hover over a via to see its layer.
You assign suitable models to the components. In the assignment dialog the right model is quickly found and can be checked in the 3D preview first.
Yes. Components you deselect in the component list disappear in 3D as well. You see the board exactly as it will be assembled.
