Check for errors: absence of metallization in holes, minimum gaps, width of tracks or size of pads.Ĭalculating the copper layers fillability.

Editing positive and negative apertures.

This helps to localize errors in the topology and fix them faster.

“Hot” communication with CAD from Cadence or Mentor Graphic: when selecting an element in them, we get its highlight in CAM350.

Editing and adding any information on the board: pads, tracks, polygons, text, positioning signs, vias.

Topology optimization: converting polygons and lines into raster objects, removing hole pads from unconnected layers, removing overlapping objects (pads under copper), editing / adding mask openings or windows in a solder mask layer, removing silk-screen printing overlapping pads.

Combining printed circuit boards into panels, putting markings and fiducials.

Transferring information from Gerber files to NC files and vice versa.

Work with drilling NC-files: adding holes, slots, milling for enabling the separation of boards from a panel.Ĭreating custom drilling files for specific operations.

Support of files of industrial standards ODB ++, IPC-2581, Gerber, DXF, Excellon, etc.

Ability to import files from PCB design CAD software: Cadence Allegro / OrCAD, Mentor Graphic PADS / Expedition, Altium Designer, etc.Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. We call this the Mafia-method way of doing business. We get regular phone-calls from an Altium salesman, who keeps bothering various members of our team, and is thoughtless enough to want to talk to our MD, who would be extremely irritated by such an action. Not only that, but we will be forced to purchase so-called "Subscriptions" or maintenance contracts for a minimum period of 2 years, although we already have good-functioning software, so we don't want or need this. Altium will not do this, but insist on selling us a complete additional new product for about double or more the price which we originally paid. We have two licenses, and would simply like to purchase an additional license or two for new employees. Despite this, the already expensive price keeps going up and up.

Altium is listed on the stock exchange as being an extremely wealthy company.
