Hi William, I’m in agreement with what you’re saying when going from Class 2 to 3. What I meant to ask is if you go from Class 2 to say 3/A, would that double the time to do layout relative to going from Class 2 to 3 ??? Outside of updating fab notes in a drawing I’m mostly asking in regards to re-routing traces and actual layout effort. Thanks,

If we needed to build to class 3 there would be time spent up-dating the notes to class 3... each detail that deviates from standard, become a 'custom thing'... requiring time to develop a correct feature, notes, tables, etc and more checking time... so I would guess it would take most shops more time. If it's 'run of the mill' normal, then all of the work has already been done in the documentation templates... etc. which allows less time or the fastest time to get the job done.

I can understand that a layout to Class 3 would take longer to obtain, over the same board laid out to Class 2; but from 3 to 3/A should one expect an order of magnitude increase in the time it takes to do a layout ??? What about 6012B (which has a 2 mil min internal annular ring requirement for 3/A) ?? I’m thinking not, but I just want to validate that.
