Version:              9.4

Date:               March 03, 2006

New features 9.4:

·        Minimum exposed copper
Option to set the minimum exposed copper size for testing. This option requires soldermask data from a F04 (contour-generated)  netlist. It applies to SMD pads which do not have enough soldermask clearance. For drill holes, the annular ring ( between drill and the effective covering pad ) must be at least 4 mils. The effective covering pad size is the smaller of the covering pad and the soldermask pad.

·        Polygon display
Displays polygon data from a F04  (contour-generated) netlist. Polygons are displayed as outlines.  The commands to turn on/off polygons are the same for traces.

·        Mason MXG
Added tester output support for the Mason MXG

Changed features 9.4:

·        File->Export->IPC356
Previously the file extension would always default to “.356” The user can now enter any file extension that they want.  If the user does not enter an extension, “.356” will be inserted

Bug fixes 9.4:

·        Accumulated Netlist
The user was not able to highlight one or more nets simultaneously.

·        MM units mode
