✦ Synopsis

In the right place

A component placement package has been added to the design end of Quest's QUAD and QUESTAR software suites for their Q-Draft range of equipment.

Component placement optimization can speed PCB design not only from the circuit diagram to the layout of the components on the board, but also by positioning components for maximum

Component placement

interconnection success during automatic routing. Placement optimization maintains maximum flexibility for the draftsman, since groups of components can be handled together, individual components fixed and, where appropriate, no go areas defined. After optimization, the designer can interchange the position of components on the board and monitor the effect of this on the vectored interconnection pattern.
