New in Version 28, a Few Highlights:
- Application Enhancements: The updated user interface includes a new 'flat' look, improved toolbars, and the addition of a Utilities menu to simplify the design experience and increase productivity.
- Library Management and Creation: Enhanced tools for library creation and editing now include support for .epl format files, improved symbol editing, and access to over 15 million ready-to-use components.
- Design and Editing: Powerful new features like flip vertical mode, rotate around center, and text cutout creation for copper layers make designing faster and more intuitive.
- Design Checking and Integrity: Upgraded geometry checks and a reorganized DRC dialog ensure more accurate and stable designs.
- Plotting and Manufacturing: New tools for drill ident creation, automatic plot generation, and enhanced via handling allow for more seamless manufacturing.
Designers using Version 28 will benefit from full compatibility with the latest versions of Windows (10 and 11), access to over 15 million components through the Component Search Engine and over 10 million components via SnapMagic, continued support from a dedicated technical team, and access to supplementary component libraries.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: The Gooey Centers of Hybrid PCB Designs
10/09/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonAnyone who knows me knows that I have a special relationship with food. Taking a twist on the words of Will Rogers, "I never met a buffet I didn't like." A balanced diet, to me, means having cupcakes in both hands. One of my favorite foods is cheeseburgers. One of my colleagues at Palomar College recently invited me out for a meal, and we ended up in a burger place in San Diego. I wanted to go the conventional and safe route: a double-patty cheeseburger. My friend insisted that I try the restaurant’s special: a peanut butter cheeseburger. “Really?” I told him. “What an interesting combination.” But he insisted I try it, and since I consider myself an adventurous person, I gave it a go.

Star Trek’s Borg character only needs a funky eyepiece contraption to access all The Collective’s data, like an outer space Wi-Fi. Like the Borg’s eyepiece, we may only need a little bit of HDI in one corner of the board. We might only need partial HDI.
