BluePrint-PCB
BluePrint-PCB
A Comprehensive Solution to Create Electronic
PCB Documentation
BluePrint-PCB is the most comprehensive BluePrint configuration available and
meets all PCB documentation creation needs. This configuration contains every-
thing BluePrint has to offer, excluding the Panel Tool Pallet and the PDF Interface.
BluePrint-PCB Features and Functionality:
BluePrint-PCB contains everything found in BluePrint Foundations (Fabrication
Tool Pallet, Assembly Tool Pallet, Insert Object, and Web Publisher), plus the
Advanced Feature Tool Kit, Assembly Drawing Tool Kit, DXF Interface, Import
Gerber, Pack and Release, CSV/ODBC Interface, Advanced Customization Tool
Kit, and, of course, a choice of one CAD Layout import option (PADS, Allegro,
BoardStation, Expedition, Zuken, OrCAD, or Altium Designer).
BluePrint-PCB is powerful and feature rich:
•
•
•
•
Use PCB CAD data to drive the documentation process
Drag and drop automatic formatting of PCB views
Imports DXF files for dragging and dropping mechanical hardware
Gerber files can be imported and used on drawing sheets to document
PCB artwork layers
•Inserts Gerber, DXF, PDF, JPEG, BMP, AVI, WAV
•Built in word processing with spell check
•Intelligent note blocks on multiple pages
•Hyperlink between notes, callouts, and details
•Automatic drill chart creation
•Support for drill tolerances
•Automatic layer stack up detail creation
•Unlimited PCB views on single sheet (top side, bottom side, inner layers)
•View assembly variances on Assembly drawing
•Fast and easy assembly reference designation placement
•Support for mechanical components in BOM
•No hiding and displaying of layers to produce documentation
•Real time viewing of PCB documentation (no output required)
•Compress drawings and files with an integrated viewer for sharing
•Import parts lists from Enterprise systems via CSV and ODBC formats
•Customize templates and automation to integrate with specific standards
•Export to HTML for web viewing
•Free BluePrint document viewer download
With BluePrint, DownStream has revolutionized the way PCB Fabrication,
Assembly, Panel and Rework documentation is created.
**********************************************************
Data Importation
BluePrint uses PCB CAD data to drive the documentation
process. Components, pins, assembly mounting sides,
layers, vias, nets, assembly variants, part attributes, drill
holes and symbols, are just a few of the data records
that can be imported into BluePrint to accurately create
PCB document elements.
Digital content such as JPEGs, BMPs, GIF, etc may be
imported and used in the drawing. BluePrint also allows
the importation and use of audio and video files to be
imported and stored with the documentation package.
The multi-media files may be linked within the
documentation drawings.
Data from other Windows® applications can be imported
and used in the BluePrint documentation package.
BluePrint imports PDF, RS274X, DXF, XML, ODB++,
JPEG, GIF, TIF, BMP. BluePrintʼs clipboard function
also allows cutting and pasting with other applications
including text and raster graphics.
All elements are added by dragging and dropping.
All drawing elements: PCB Views, Charts, details, text
boxes, note blocks, etc; are treated as elements on the
drawing and can be quickly added and modified. Each
element may be scaled, formatted, transformed
(Rotated, mirrored, flipped, etc) independently of each
other. There is no limit on the number of elements that
can be placed on a drawing.
Advanced Feature Tool Kit
Adds additional functionality such as coordinate dimen-
sions to the basic tool pallet and tool bar, BluePrint
Reference Designator text box generator and blind
buried via support in layer stack up, PCB views, and
drill charts. Also enables search functionality.
Assembly Drawing Tool Kit
Allows PCB views to be displayed by variant, variant
manager, variant lists, variant status in parts list and
variant legend. Allows parts list to be displayed by variant
in parts list manager. Also enables the importation of
variant lists via CSV format. Enables displaying of PCB
Views by process step, process step manager, process
step chart, display of process, steps in parts list
manger. Enables side and sectional view wizards.
DXF Interface
Import DXF files directly into BluePrint for dragging and
dropping mechanical hardware onto drawing sheets
along with PCB views.
Fabrication Tool Pallet
Consists of basic fabrication drawing elements and
t for PCB Views, include board outline,
drill pattern, drill chart - support for detail wizards
include: layer stack-up; finger chamfer, minimum trace
width, V-score.
Import Gerber
Gerber files can be imported and used on drawing
sheets to document PCB artwork layers.
Pack and Release
Users can select drawings and files and compress them
with an integrated viewer for use with users who may
not have a BluePrint-Viewer or wish to install one.
Assembly Tool Pallet
Consists of basic assembly drawing elements and
tools. Support for PCB views include: top/bottom side,
parts list manager, integral parts list and component
coordinate chart.
CSV/ODB Interface
Parts lists stored in Enterprise systems can be imported
into BluePrint via CSV or ODBC formats. Upon completion
of the documentation cycle, revised parts lists can then
be exported through either format back to the
Enterprise system.
Insert Object
Allows the storage of external files within the BluePrint
release package.
Web Publisher
Allows for the creation of PCB release packages in
HTML format.
Advanced Customization Tool Kit
BluePrint's API and template architecture allows
complete customization of templates and automation
for integration with company specific standards.
