TARGET 3001 30.2.0.51

December 1, 2020

• Menu "Actions / Preparatory work": Added Convergence Pad

• Move package: Phantom image shows at the handle cross whether placed on top or bottom of the PCB
• DO-File for Specctra/Electra: At the end unprotect singly the signals that are fixed to a layer
• DO-File for Specctra/Electra: After power routing -> forbid layers or increase costs
• DO-File for Specctra/Electra: FanOut at the beginning if applicable
• Pick&Place: Output restrictable to ASCII characters and "." as decimal separator
• Display signal names: Use smaller font size for long names on short signal segments
• Tooltips also show the module name, if available
• Isolation milling: Settings for fiducial drills and RubOut are remembered
• Pick&Place: If only components on the bottom side are placed, mirroring of coordinates can be switched off
• DO file of the Specctra/Electra interface: 'select net "abc"' and 'unselect net "abc"' at the same time is prevented
• Draw track in PCB: Key [-] places a via at the end of the track and terminates the mode witout changing the layer

TARGET 3001 30.2.0.65

December 15, 2020

• 3D view: Round PCBs and round components were not always displayed correctly
• 3D view: Sometimes tracks were omitted
• Cross-probe (F3) with an component not yet placed in the PCB could cause a problem
• Polygonal pads can be shown in the editior using the same rotation with wich they are usedTIFF in the print dialog: Several schematic pages can be exported as TIFF
• Slow DRC did not detect several spacing violations under certain circumstances

• 2020: Pilot router shows the remaining length of the signal als a circle at the cursor (length from the signal class)
• Panelization: Predetermined breaking points can be generated automatically
• Component browser: The flag "My" for favorite components does not cover information any more
• Commandline parameter -356 lets TARGET create an IPC-356 netlist automatically
• DRC: The minimum widt for layers was ignored sometimes
• Improved changing of multiline texts

TARGET 3001 30.3.0.15

February 19, 2021

• Creating a rectangle with coordinate data ignored a relative origin

• Rename component, e.g. R17 -> R8: If number is already used, all the available numbers are proposed
• Sidebar in PCB view: White component list at the bottom extends if space is available
• Panelisation: When copying signal polygons, the new field "Aura" was not always copied correctly
• Subsequent insertion of a 2- or 3-pole component (e.g. series resistor) splits the signal hit (preview V31)
• BOM: Selection of component properties is remembered during the session
• BOM, summarize components: Prefix and former search name in the database can be ignored
• Starting a track and typing key [2] at the same position anew toggles the copper layer used
