Advanced Technology

When your Technology requirements are such; benefit from advanced technology features such as Flexi-Rigid Design, Embedded Components and Chip-On-Board to provide you with the functionality you require.

Placement Sites

Placement Sites are an intelligent methodology for placing components in critical positions. Placement Sites can be imported from DXF and allow components to snap to a precise point based on a user definable snapping tolerance.

Design Variants

Using the Variant Manager, easily create any number of design variants for Fitted/None Fitted, Different part and/or, Footprint, Attribute/Values and even a different number of footprint pins per component.

Powerful Report Maker

Use our standard or create your own extensive BOM, Pick and Place, PCB Acceptance reports and Netlists in a number of different formats with ease from Pulsonix.

Construction Lines

Unique to Pulsonix, construction lines provide user-definable lines within your design from which to guide your design items. Using construction lines you can create complex board outlines or align irregular shapes and design items.

Style Naming Rules

Technology dialog - Style Naming Rules
Define rules for automatically creating naming conventions to new and existing styles, this includes a pre-defined IPC example for Pad naming definitions.
