Text justification functionality has been improved and text behavior has been changed to make the justification options predictable. In this release, a number of improvements have been made to PCB Text objects, which allow you more precise control with defining text strings. Using the return layers configured in the selected Impedance Profile, the return path can be created from fills, regions, polygons or plane layers. The new Return Path design rule checks for a continuous signal return path above or below the signals targeted by the rule. Use the Creepage Distance rule to ensure the creepage distance across and through non-conductive board surfaces meets your design requirements. Two new PCB Design rules will help in the design of high-speed boards. And the new Open All Schematic Documents and the Update Selected from Libraries commands will help improve your design efficiency. The schematic editor graphics engine now uses DirectX, bringing smoother and faster panning and zooming, particularly on large and dense schematics. Dynamic compilation removes the need for manual project compilation and also lays the foundation for stronger interaction between the editors, such as Multi-board and ActiveBOM. This release sees a number of improvements to schematics. Accessible in both Simple and Advanced modes, the migrator can be applied and configured to suit your exact library migration needs. Improvements include a completely revised user interface and the introduction of source library analysis processes that automatically detect component types and parameter content. The Library Migrator has been substantially updated to provide a highly automated one-click solution for converting file-based component libraries to server-based managed components.
