Join DownStream Technologies and explore the latest trend in PCB Documentation. Once a tedious endeavor, PCB documentation has become an automated, simplified process resulting in a 50-70% reduction in the time spent creating accurate, detailed documents - when using BluePrint for PCBs.

Watch it on your schedule... anywhere, anytime... from the convenience of your home or office.

Overview

During this informative webinar you will see how BluePrint-PCB can dramatically change the way you create PCB documentation by using intelligent design data to automate the PCB documentation process. Topics to be covered include:

• Creating and using templates to quickly populate a documentation set
• Creating comprehensive PCB Fabrication Drawings
• Implementing engineering change orders (ECOs).

Unlimited PCB Views using BluePrint-PCB

BluePrint-PCB "knows" it is creating a PCB document and imports the entire PCB CAD database once to automatically create and link unlimited PCB views, details and tables. By importing the CAD data you preserve the design intelligence and overcome the constraints imposed by both PCB and mechanical CAD alternatives. The result is an electronic document, which better articulates the instructions for successful PCB manufacturing.

BluePrint-PCB will:

• Use PCB intelligence to create common drawing elements
• Create live and interactive documentation with hyperlinks and multi-media
• Store all information associated with the PCB assembly in one electronic "release package"
• Support instantaneous engineering changes (ECOs)
• Allow viewing of documents without the application - via the web, PDF, or a free viewer

With BluePrint, you can create an electronic PCB release package that is more complete than what is being created today. BluePrint also supports the integration of digital multi-media content such as JPEGs, audio files, and even video to better communicate the often-complex instructions needed to fabricate and assemble a PCB.

In addition, BluePrint's hyper-linking capability allows the creation of links between different document elements, external files, URLs and email addresses. With BluePrint, all the data is logically, simply displayed - PCB documentation is live, interactive, and much more informative.
