CAM350 Classic Release 10.2 - Updated January 6

DownStream is pleased to announce CAM350 Release 10.2 is now available for download. We have optimized the software's performance and memory usage. Areas of improved performance include Gerber import and ODB++ import. Optimization for memory usage is delivered in CAM350 10.1 for all polygon analysis, which means that larger more complex designs can now be processed by commands such as Netlist Extract and Gerber Import. CAM350 10.2 also delivers software enhancements and corrections.
