CADStar desktop PCB design software v. 17 now incorporates Perfect Springback technology, for smooth and fast operation, restoring the previous pattern and position exactly. Is said to make routing faster and more responsive, and eliminate the need to review return positions when trying out and undoing routing options. This rubber band-like operation is seen when dragging tracks in Activ-45 mode for Activ-45 pushing. A similar operation can be found in the manual routing and lengthening tools. Is said to significantly reduce number of clicks needed to place and route, compared to traditional routing technology. Other productivity enhancements include improved routing patterns for differential pairs, and etch factor support. New ease-of-use features include: When interacting with a selection it is now possible to specify an origin used as a reference for operations such as movement and rotation; and dimensions may be added directly into PCB component.
