Full Importation of PCB CAD File
BluePrint uses PCB CAD data to drive the documentation process. Components, pins, assembly mounting sides,
layers, vias, nets, assembly variants, part attributes, drill holes and symbols, are just a few of the data records that can
be imported into BluePrint to accurately create PCB document elements.
User Benefit: Creates PCB documentation elements intelligently and accurately. Reduces error prone manual
methods of document creation.
Multi-media Import Formats
Digital content such as JPEGs, BMPs, GIF, etc may be
imported and used in the drawing. BluePrint also allows the importation and use
of audio and video files to be imported and stored with the documentation
package. The multi-media files may be linked within the documentation drawings.
BluePrint invokes the users registered media player to play the audio/video
file. This function allows users to use multi-media applications such as video
recording the process for a complex sub assembly, in addition to the traditional
note and detail approach to PCB documentation. The result is clearer
instructions with less ambiguity and potential for deviation in the
manufacturing process.
User Benefit: Creates new opportunities to articulate
complex manufacturing instructions. Reduces chance of error in fabrication and
assembly.
Exotic File Importation
Data from other Windows® applications can be imported and used in the BluePrint documentation package.
BluePrint imports PDF, RS274X, DXF, XML, ODB++, JPEG, GIF, TIF, BMP. BluePrint’s clipboard function also allows cutting
and pasting with other applications including text and raster graphics.
Drag, Drop, Draw
All elements are added by dragging and dropping.
- Pallet elements
- Import Task Pane elements
- Mechanical Component views
- Gallery elements
Fast Drawing Element Placement
All drawing elements: PCB Views, Charts, details, text boxes, note blocks, etc; are treated as elements
on the drawing and can be quickly added and modified as needed by the user. Each element may be scaled, formatted,
transformed (Rotated, mirrored, flipped, etc) independently of each other element. There is no limit on the number
of elements that can be placed on a drawing.
User Benefit: Faster document creation and editing.
