Planned enhancements to DEX
Python Scripting
This is a very useful part of DEX
Python Scripting Panel
•Python programming language.
•Add menu buttons.
•Create dialogs.
Simulation
This is a very significant part of DEX
Virtual Instruments
•Easier to use Parts
•More powerful Probe (Simulation view)
•More instruments
•Device characterization plots
PCB Routing
PCB Routing
•Improved internal router. Shaped based at no additional cost.
•Follow me routing with manual routing linked to the internal router; a bit like the schematic wire router.
•Differential pairs routing.
Parametric Models
Parametric Quad Part
Parametric device models that automatically create footprints, 3D parts and the associated schematic symbols will be added for the following device types:
•SIP resistors
•Sockets
•Transformers
•Coil Inductors - Panasonic
•HELP System
•More videos.
•Part Creation book.
•Designing with DEX book.
Reliability
•Kill all those bugs and usability issues and make DEX rock solid.
•Improved Mantis Bug Tracking.
•Feature Tracking.
•Usability Tracking.
Speed Increases
•Following several very significant, it is planned to provide more performance improvements.
•Utilize Mutli-Core CPUs with mutli-threading.
•Improve internal algorithms using parallel programming.
The 3D viewer/modeler
•More model creation techniques including surface of revolution, extrusions and machine tool operations like drills.
3D Import
•STEP import.
Gates and Pin Swap
•Group pads into gates and swappable pads.
