Designs are becoming significantly more complex resulting in the need for fast and efficient PCB design tools. Pulsonix version 11.0 makes a gigantic leap in speed, dramatically reducing the times it takes to perform many PCB design operations such as Design Rule Checking (DRC), Copper Pouring, and Gerber generation. Version 11.0 is a remarkable step forward regarding performance and speed,” said Olaf Hollinger at Carl Zeiss AG. “Some of our large designs are displaying up to 2.5 times faster. In one example, we’ve seen DRCs that can be more than four times faster multi-threading using my eight cores.
