CAM350 14.0 New Functionality Details

64 bit Shared Database

CAM350 and BluePrint now share a 64 bit database. Our products can now import and work with very large CAD databases with the only restrictions being the processor and physical memory in your PC. You can also create a database with CAM350 that can be opened by BluePrint and vise a versa. If you import CAD data in CAM350 and save to our common database format (DPD), then you can open that file in BluePrint and work with the imported CAD data without having to re-import the data.

Note: CAM350 14.1 and BluePrint 6.1 are 64 bit ONLY. We have discontinued support for 32 bit. Microsoft’s 64 bit OS was introduced on Vista in 2006. All new PC’s and laptops are installed with 64 bit processors and Windows OS. CAM350 14.1 and BluePrint 6.1 take full advantage of today’s PC power and performance.

4K Resolution Support

CAM350 and BluePrint now support 4K resolution screens. “4K” refers to a horizontal screen display resolution in the order of 4,000 pixels (for instance, 4096x2160). 4K is used by many of today’s most popular laptops. 4K support in a software program requires smaller, high resolution icons and modifications to dialogs and panes that are too large for a smaller screen.

New 3D Graphics Engine and Features

CAM350's 3D Design View lets you visualize a 3D model of your imported design data. The 3D Design View is rendered automatically from your imported ODB++, IPC2581, or PADS ASCII design data. You can also render a 3D model using unintelligent Gerber and NC data after leveraging CAM350’s new automatic import processing. Components are rendered based on their silkscreen outline and height information. The board, components, pins, drills, vias, nets and copper are all rendered in 3D. Because the 3D visualization is rendered directly from your imported CAD data it is updated in real time when a design ECO occurs and new data is imported.

You can interact with your 3D Design visualization by changing the rotation, zoom,

camera angles and other features found on the 3D ribbon and by using your mouse.

Automatic Import

Use Automatic Import as a universal importer of design data in various formats. It expedites the file import process by batch processing a collection of files in a folder versus individual file election in other import operations. Using Automatic Import templates enables more expedient processing of files by matching file names or portions of file names to specific file types.

Automatic import can parse both CAM and non-CAM file types to complete definition of a CAM database. For example, aperature report files can be imported and applied to their respective Gerber files. An IPC-D-356 netlist can be imported to facilitate netlist comparison, bed of nails and flying probe outputs. Automatic import facilitates the definition of a layer stackup and drill layer pairs to arrive at a more robust design database post import. This eliminates the need to perform these steps individually after a file import. These individual definition steps are optional and can be skipped during the automatic import process.

Note: If importing entire designs in ODB++, PADS ASCII, IPC2581, or GenCAD

use other file import operations. Automatic Import is intended for batch import

of Gerber, NC Drill, NC Mill and other like CAM formats.

File – Import – Automatic Import.

Merged Editor functionality

The CAM, NC, Bed of Nails and Flying Probe Editors have been merged into a common CAM Editor.

New Centralized Option dialog

Options for ALL Editors have been merged into one Options dialog.

New Stack Up Visualizer

Users can now visually orientate manufacturing files in a new Stack Up Visualizer (SUV). The SUV allows users to order imported manufacturing files in the form of layers in the order of which they are to be implemented in the finished PCB. The stack up layer order allows users to graphically see the PCB in several ways: Tablature, cross section, and 3D representation. Tablature view allows users to see a given manufacturing file as well as its associated attributes that support the manufacturing process including material thickness within a layer table. User may also add dielectric layers and their associated properties for thickness, dielectric constant, material type, etc. to gain a more accurate depiction of the finished PCB. Each layer whether imported or added as dielectric in the layer table is also represented in a graphical cross section that identifies the layers or materials position within the PCB cross section. Applicable changes to Layer table are automatically reflected in the cross section. The stack up can also be visualized as a 3D sample of the finished PCB with accurate rendering of each material layer in the stack up with its respective thicknesses. In all views, the SUV also supports the definition of various NC drill files and their associated layer spans. This combination of both imported layer data as well as via data provides a realistic depiction of the finished PCB based on materials used in the construction process. The SUV also supports the importation and exportation of IPC-2581 Stack Up data to share with your PCB manufacturer. This allows users to accurately model a PCB Stack Up based on materials that are available by a specific PCB manufacturer. The result is that the SUV serves as a “sandbox” that allows both the design and manufacturer to hone in which materials are to be used in the design.

Below is a pictorial of the CAM350 user interface.

Stackup Table The Stackup Table presents the stackup as a table. Layers in the stackup are presented in top to bottom order and include Solder Mask, Silkscreen, PCB and Dielectric layers. Here you can:

Add Layers

Delete Layers

Move Layers

View Layer Properties

Show Layer Labels

Automatically Add Dielectric Layers

Assign Layer Material

Stackup Graphics The Stackup Graphics presents a cross section of the layer stackup. Layers are presented in top to bottom order with layer color coding and via drills.

Via Padstack Table The Via Padstack Table presents one row for each layer set in the design and one row for through drills. Each row is identified by a layer set name.

Design Statistics The Design Statistics area presents stackup relevant data from the design. Statistical data includes Number of Layers in the stackup, Number of Silkscreen and Soldermask layers, Number of Internal layers, Number of drill sizes, smallest drill size and the number of drilling ranges (or layer sets).

View 3D Stackup Select View in 3D to view the layer stackup in 3D.

Materials Table The Materials Table is for managing a library of materials used in the creation of layer stackups. The materials table is a library of PCB fabrication materials and other layer types like soldermask and silkscreen.

Import or Export Stackup Use Import and Export Stackup to share and collaborate on stackup design. Layer stackups can be exported, reviewed, modified and then imported to update design materials, stackup layers, layer properties and so on.
