During the design process for a PCB, engineers may be confident with schematics but less so with the PCB and its layout. Once a seperate specialisation, PCB layout is now normally the responsibility of the design engineer. Aiming to aid engineers in this area is the recently launched PCB Visualizer from Eurocircuits. The free online visualisation program contains a suite of DRC and Design for Manufacturability modules, allowing board designers to use tools before the start of the layout and to check design data during the process.
