Streams Rules Editor provides for the ability to define DFF and DRC Rules check schemes for reuse across multiple printed circuit board designs. Also supports the capability of executing different analysis in special areas such as BGA or Wire Bond, and running a standard analysis on the rest of the design.

ODB++ Import Interface offers import support of the Valor ODB++ exchange format.

IPC2581 Import Interface offers import support of the industry standard IPC2581 exchange format.

Allows users to crossprobe analysis results to PADS, Allegro and Expedition

The bi-directional DXF Inteface allows the user to read and write DXF files through release 14 of AutoCAD. Interface is not limited to just AutoCAD DXF files, other systems that can produce DXF data will work as well.

Basic NC-Editor is used for working with NC-Drill and NC-Mill data. Importing, exporting, and creation capabilities are included.

Minor editing is also included for the purposes of change drill tool definitions, adding basic mill paths to assembly panels, and changing or working with break tabs.

Automate your sub-panel process with the Basic Panel Editor. Allows for the creation of panel templates, which can be used and stored for reuse. Populate panels in either an automatic stepping mode or use spreadsheet mode for total control.

In automatic mode, you pick the assembly panel size, and we populate with best utilization based on your spacing requirements. You can also use the spreadsheet mode, which allows placing and rotation of individual boards to meet your specific sub-panel requirements.

ODB++ Export Interface offers export support of the Valor ODB++ exchange format.

IPC2581 Export Interface offers export support of the industry standard IPC2581 exchange format.

Macro debugger is used for Basic script debugging. Offers the user with programmer level debugging capabilities, like traces, watch points, breaks, etc. (note macro recording is no longer supported for script development as VB Scripting is replacing)

VB Scripting Support (To be added after version 6.0 release)

VB Scripting Support as of version 14.6 release, includes script creation, recording and playback

CAM350 Macro debugger is no longer supported as of version 14.0 for script development as VB Scripting is br replaced

CAM350 Macro language scripts may run version 14.6 and later, but it is advised to convedrt all to VB scripts

BASIC DFM is a subset of the full DFM suite of manufacturability checks. Basic DFM identifies potential manufacturing problems so they can be eliminated BEFORE manufacture.

Examples are Acid Traps, Copper Slivers, Soldermask Slivers, starved thermals and solder bridging. Automatically repairs are also available.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) checks are used to analyze a PCB design for a number of standard PCB manufacturability issues that the traditional CAD system's DRC checks may not find or are limited in their abilities. Gerber, ODB++, IPC2581, and PADS ASCII formats are supported.

Analysis consists of checks for:

• Acid Traps
• Copper Slivers
• Pin Holes
• Soldermask Slivers
• Solderbridge Conditions
• Starved Thermals
• Soldermask-to-Trace Spacing
• Silkscreen-to-Trace Spacing
• Negative Plane Thermal Conflicts
• Overlapped Drill Hits
• Redundant Drill Hits
• Coicident Drill Hits
• Drill Hole-to-Drill Hole Spacing
• Isolated Connections

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for Rigid Flex Designs
specialized DFM checks specifically for Rigid Flex designs. Gerber, ODB++, IPC2581, and PADS ASCII formats are supported.

The Rigid - Flex analysis entails two areas of focus - Rigid-Flex and Inter-Layer:

• Rigid-Flex analysis focuses on flexible conductive layers and coverlayers. Flexible trace layers are analyzed for conditions that potentially lead to trace fracture such as vias, trace corners, or solid copper areas in bend areas. Coverlayers are analyzed for missing exposures, minimum distance between exposures and many other common issues. Flexible layers are analyzed for conductors too close or mistakenly placed outside the boundaries of the layer.
• Inter-layer analysis focuses on the interaction of layer material combinations in rigid-flex construction. For example, too much adhesive below a coverlayer may lead to adhesive squeeze out and contaminate adjacent conductive surfaces.
• There is also the ability to create custom constraints between two layer types for constraints like annular ring, coincidence, minimum gaps and many other conditions.

Automate your sub-panel process through an fully integrated Panel Editor. Allows for creatation of panel templates, intelligent coupons, pinning holes, fiducials, title blocks, and more. Populate panels in either an automatic stepping mode or use a spreadsheet for total control. Venting and thieving are fully automated as well, processing multiple layers in either a positive or negative polarity with user defined patterns too.

Advanced NC-Editor is an add-on, or upgrade, to the existing Basic NC-Editor. It offers additional capabilities that are typically only found within PCB Fabrication CAM packages, such as Drilled Slots, Drilled Circles, Drilled Text Characters, Milled Slots, Milled Circles, to name a few.

There are also extra editing capabilities that pertain to the above mentioned features (Drill Slots, Drilled Text, etc).

DirectCAD Interface is used for exporting PADS and GenCAD ASCII databases directly from CAM350.

A unique feature to CAM350 and FabFactory, Reverse Engineering allows a customer to start with non-intelligent Gerber data and work it back in to a semi-intelligent format a CAD system will understand.

Items that are supported included Netlist information, Part information with RefDes, as well as some Attribute data(*).

* - Please check with your sales representative as to which CAD interfaces support Attributes.
