RICHARDSON, TX – EMS firm Automated Circuit Design has created a virtual PCB layer overlay for CAM and Gerber checks.

Using post script and photo editing software, ACD is able to simulate paper in black and white, and change the opacity and force a vellum appearance. Designers are able to change the pages they view and simulate a “pinched paper slide.”

Using a 42" LCD display, ACD is now able to view plots in actual size; the software permits designers to zoom in to verify tight areas.

The company has two work stations set up, permitting simultaneous reviews. They can verify high profile designs and not threaten a start date in fabrication.
