Tech-Tip: Compare the shape of each layer in two design data items
Menu
The Designer can compare two designs to see the differences between the two. This can be useful if minor changes or major changes have been made to an existing design or one received from another facility.
Two compared design data items are overlapped on the canvas.
The currently opened design data on the canvas of the main window is handled as the comparison source, and the design data specified in [Target file] with the [Compare DSGN Shape] command is done as the comparison destination.
The design data side of the comparison source is displayed in the color specified in [Application Settings] – [Compare diff.] – [Color] – [Source].
When a difference found in the design data side of the comparison source is selected from [Comparison result list], it is displayed in the color specified in [Highlight color] – [Source].

Sustainable Product Development
On our way to achieving sustainable product development, we ask ourselves one central question: how do we engineer products so future generations have enough resources to prosper? Up to four-fifths of a product's lifetime emissions are determined by decisions made at the design stage. Having all the tools needed to get those decisions right is essential for designing sustainable products that meet performance and quality requirements while using fewer resources across the entire life cycle.

A chat with ChatGPT
Artificial intelligence has been on everyone's lips since newspapers, radio, television, and social media have been overflowing with reports on the AI-based text generator ChatGPT since the beginning of the year. We therefore decided to have a chat with ChatGPT itself to find out from artificial intelligence itself what we can expect to see in this area.

PCB constraints should drive your design flow. Here's why.
We've all heard of PCB design constraints. They're those little things that limit our ability to create the perfect board in very short periods of time. But what exactly are they? And why do they matter? This blog post elaborates on PCB constraints and why they should drive your design flow.
