PADSPCB design solutions are created for designers by designers. They coverthe entire design flow, from design definition through signal integrityanalysis, functional simulation, layout and outputs to manufacturing.

AboutMentor Graphics: Mentor Graphics is a leader in electronic designautomation. We enable companies to develop better electronic productsfaster and more cost-effectively. Our innovative products and solutionshelp engineers conquer design challenges in the increasingly complexworlds of board and chip design. About PADS PCB Design Tools: PADS,Mentor Graphics world-leading desktop PCB design tool, enables you todevelop PCBs within a highly productive, scalable, and easy-to-useenvironment. PADS solutions cover the spectrum of PCB development, fromschematic entry to manufacturing preparation. New Features: Thefollowing new features are available in this release: – LP WizardModified courtyard round off to the Place Round? value unless thatvalue is greater than 0.1 mm if units are millimeters or microns, or 4mils if units are mils or inches. – ECAD/MCAD Collaborator Collaborationbetween Electronic CAD and Mechanical CAD is greatly simplified bysharing XML data between the two systems while allowing ECAD and MCADusers to view data in their own tool environment. Changes suggested byengineers on either system can be viewed and either approved or rejectedin both systems. Using the ECAD-MCAD Collaborator not only makesinformation sharing much easier, but also ensures more accuratecommunication and quicker product development. The ECAD/MCADCollaborator uses the new ProSTEP standard to allow a new level ofcollaboration between the mechanical and electrical CAD groups.Currently, ProEngineer also supports this standard. ECAD/MCADCollaborator is an additional option, contact your sales person for moreinformation. – Improved 3D Viewer The 3D Viewer is enhanced to supportthe ECAD/MCAD Collaborator. Operations on components are showndynamically in both PADS Layout and the Collaborator. You now also havethe option to see more detail (traces, vias, coppers) in static mode. -Create Arcs for Differential Pairs The ability to add arcs todifferential pairs during interactive routing is added to PADS Router.This is supported when the diff pair is routed in join? mode, and inroute separately?. The behavior is similar to the Add Arc functionalityof the single net interactive routing – Import Expedition Databasesinto PADS Layout The Import feature within PADS Layout is updated tosupport Expedition PCB databases.
