CadSoft EAGLE PCB Design Software

EAGLE PCB Design tool

offers 3D visualisation for complex board design Posted:07/03/12

EagleUp utility lets design engineers create and share 3D virtual prototypes before expensive real - world prototyping decision are made.

In a move to empower PCB design engineers to create virtual prototype designs, element14 has launched the EagleUp 3D design converter, enabling design engineers to export 2D layouts from CadSoft’s EAGLE PCB design software into Google SketchUp to create accurate 3D prototype simulations. As electronic products become slimmer and more ergonomic, modern PCBs have increasingly complex layouts and outlines that need to be mapped very accurately during the design process.

- Now the editor for descriptions can edit different languages if existing. English and the current local language are always available.
- Now duplicate layer names are tolerated for compatilibility reasons (even though they should not be used).
- DesignLink: Search text field now with history, filtering of results.
- To avoid confusion, editing the coordinates of rotated rectangles in the Properties dialog is no longer allowed.
- PCB quote service:
- Quote parameters now go to Element14, where regional specific partners are offered.
- Parameters for assembly service were added.
- Added a warning if changing the assembly variant in the CAM Processor.
- Now boards are stored with proper data of the current assembly variant.
- Reduced line width (0.4mm) if drawing the marking 'X' of not populated parts.
- Add width and height in the Properties dialog for rectangles.
- Improved attribute dialog of devices to allow adding new attributes with empty values via the command line.
