Hi Technet, For most of our products we ask our boardvendors to choose suitable positions for the break-away patterns. This is giving more problems then I want, and as an alternative I am considering to ask our production engineers to fully specify the design and positions of the break-away patterns. Currently we're using Kwickfit to specify our panelisations, but that doesn't have the possibility to specify how the break-off patterns look and where they should be positioned. Is there, besides dedicated PCB-design software and general CAD-software, any software on the market that can make such a detailed specification of a board-panelisation ?
