V15 isn't distributed anymore. All V15 features are part of V16 as well.


Component Database:
- assign any parameter to any component
- database performance
- find components by parameters
- duplicate/modify components directly within the database
- no diversion by schematic/PCB
- create any component listing.

Assembly Service
in cooperation with PCB-POOL(R)
- calculate the assembly of your board
- define where to purchase the parts
- use standard parts from PCB-Pool(R) stock
- add any own parts for assembly (welcome in a bag)
- select various distributors for procurement of the parts used
- automatic assembly from one(!) piece of PCB.

Reverse Engineering:
- In edition "design station"
- Create a new layout from old, defective, non documented PCB
- your large technical device lying idle because of defective PCB?
- OEM no longer on the market?
- service provider/subcontractor not to be found?
- No documentation at all available, not to mention CAD data?
- Create a schematic from your PCB using TARGET 3001!
- Create a new layout from the schematic and so generate a clone of your old board
Autorouting:
- ELECTRA autorouter 250 Pin version embedded to all TARGET 3001! editions
- no time limitations
- all functions active
- NOTE: Not continued with V20 onward!
Capture polygonal:
- Capture and highlight elements/areas by polygon clicked catch window
Lead free soldering:
- sharp corners often create solder balls when lead free soldered
- those balls, when loose, often cause trouble elsewhere on the board
- Rounding of pad corners eases lead free soldering by avoiding those balls
Groundplane creation:
- Groundplane areas can directly be connected
- The groundplanes in TARGET 3001! now "hand over" the signal.
- The air wires vanish while the tracks needn't be routed through the groundplane.
(NOTE: By a visual check of your groundplane make sure that you don't create unconnected ground islands!).
Manual groundplane creation:
- Groundplane polygon with automatic assignment of auras
- signal tracks having the same signal names as the groundplane automatically get
aura=0 within the groundplane which means they get connected
- Externally of the plane the aura remains untouched
- signal tracks with a signal name different to the groundplane automatically get
an aura when running through the groundplane, thus get isolated
- externally of the groundplane the auras remain untouched
Schematic:
- signal nets having the same name but being not yet connected properly get a purple air wire for recognition
. Selection of elements: Different planes having the same signal can be selected by one click if they are clinging together
. DXF Import: A sequence of lines not having a signal (like an outline of a board) can be selected together by one click
