Making Electronic Design Easy
™
Powerful rules-driven design accelerates
Bring a new approach to graphical
printed circuit board design with
Protel 99’s superb PCB editor. The
PCB editor combines manual and
automated design in an interactive
environment that supports both
the new user and the experienced
designer. The underlying PCB data
structure is tuned for speed, and a
set of powerful design rules gives
you total control over the design
parameters. Equipped with manual
and interactive features that make
it easy to layout and route the most
complex mixed-technology designs,
Protel 99’s PCB editor is the perfect
balance of power and control.

managed by the system.
final board layout to get out of step
with the original schematics. With
Protel 99’s easy-to-use Design
Synchronizer, keeping your
schematic and PCB documents
in complete harmony is a breeze.
Reflecting PCB changes back to
the schematic is as easy as pressing
a button.
Protel 99’s PCB Editor incorporates
over 25 design rule classes covering
areas such as component placement,
critical-net trace widths, crosstalk
constraints, net impedance, signal
reflections, clearances, object geom-
etry, parallelism, routing priority and
routing topology. Combined with the
ability to create multiple rules, each
applying to particular objects, nets,
components, regions, or the whole
board, Protel 99 gives you total
control over the design process.
The Design Synchronizer analyzes
the source PCB document and target
schematic design to determine any
differences. If you have changed
component designators on your PCB
for example, the designators on the
schematic are automatically updated.
Comprehensive design
rules ensure your design
meets the specs
The ability to create compound rule
scopes allows you to precisely target
the objects a rule applies to. With
simple-to-construct compound scope
definitions you can route a net at
one width on the top layer, and a
different width on the bottom layer.
Or close the solder mask over the
vias on the bottom layer, but not
the top layer.
The Design Synchronizer can be
run at any stage in the board layout
process to ensure the total integrity
of your design documentation. With
Protel 99’s Design Synchronizer
technology you'll have complete
confidence that your schematic and
PCB documents represent the same
circuit throughout the design
process.
PCB design can be a minefield
of conflicting requirements.
High-speed logic and smaller, more
complex packaging technologies
place extreme demands on the PCB
designer. Net impedance, track
clearances, signal reflections, path
lengths, critical trace widths - all
these factors and many more need
to be carefully monitored and
controlled to produce a successful
board design. Protel 99’s powerful
rules-driven design approach leaves
you free to focus on laying out and

Protel 99’s PCB Editor incorporates over 25 design rule classes covering areas such as routing, manufacturing,

process. Click-and-drag to move
or resize graphical objects and
double-click on an object to edit its
properties. If you’ve ever used any
Windows graphics editing packages
you’ll feel right at home with
Protel 99. Whether you’re a beginner
or a power user, Protel 99’s intuitive
interface gives you easy control
over a powerful set of PCB editing
features.
Unbreakable connectivity
place components grouped first by
connectivity (creating clusters of
components), then by the component
geometry.
Connectivity is the foundation of
PCB design, and with Protel 99’s
PCB editor net integrity is
paramount. Connectivity is
continually monitored and analyzed
as you route, with the status of
each net constantly updated. As
connections are completed, the
corresponding ratsnest line is
automatically erased. And because
connectivity is monitored in
“real time”, you can route a net
from any starting point – you’re not
constrained by the ratsnest connec-
tion order. The net connectivity will
automatically be updated to reflect
the current routing.
With higher component counts,
Protel 99’s Statistical Placer uses
an AI-based methodology called
“simulated annealing”. It analyzes
the entire design during placement,
considering the connection length,
the connection density on the
board, and the alignment of the
components, all in accordance
with the specified design rules.
Versatile global editing features let
you apply property changes across
any set of objects throughout your
design. Double-click on a string
on the overlay to change its height,
for example, and you can instantly
apply the height change to the single
string, all strings on the overlay
layer, all strings throughout the
design, or any subset of strings
you define. Global editing makes
board-wide design changes easy.
Feature Highlights

Smart interactive placement tools
make short work of manual
placement jobs. Use the Auto Select
placement mode to quickly ‘collect’
components with similar footprints,
then rotate, expand and contract the
entire group as you move them to
the required location on the board.
Once your rough placement is
complete, use Auto Align mode to
neatly expand or contract a group
of placed components with similar
footprints. These and many other
advanced interactive features make
component placement in Protel 99
a designer’s dream.
Also, Protel 99 monitors routing
design rules as you work, instantly
flagging design rule violations. With
Protel 99’s unbreakable connectivity
and online design rule checking your
routing will be fast, accurate and
complete.
And with Protel 99’s Slider Hand,
moving around your PCB design
has never been easier. Simply click-
and-hold the right mouse button
anywhere in the PCB workspace and
use the Slider Hand to ‘slide’ around
your view of the PCB. Combined
with automatic document panning
and hotkey zoom control, the Slider
Hand makes it easy to get the right
view of your design.
Enhanced component
placement tools
Component placement is the key to
good board layout, and Protel 99’s
PCB editor is equipped with two
powerful automatic placement tools,
as well as a comprehensive set of
intelligent interactive placement
features.
Effortless interactive
manual routing
A major challenge for today’s PCB
designer is working with a mix of
imperial and metric technologies.
Protel 99’s powerful manual routing
features let you easily route to any
object on the board, regardless of
its placement grid.
For boards with a low component
count, choose Protel 99’s Cluster
Placer that uses a component
clustering algorithm to automatically
Protel 99’s “avoid obstacle” manual routing mode automatically clips the track you are
placing to avoid creating design rule violations. This makes it easy to “slam-and-jam”
tracks together while maintaining defined clearances.
Effortlessly route through tight spaces
using the “push-and-shove” manual
routing mode. Existing tracks are
pushed out of the way in accordance
with all relevant design rules.
The PCB’s special “electrical grid” feature snaps the cursor to valid electrical connection
points, regardless of the current routing grid setting. This makes it easy to route to
off-grid pads and tracks, enabling virtually gridless manual routing.
