- OMATION Incorporated (April 20, 1992 -- Richardson, TX) has just released
- PowerTools, a package containing twelve new productivity features and two
- utility routines for its SCHEMA schematic capture package. Although SCHEMA
- is already known as a highly efficient package for schematic drawing,
- current users outlined needs for a new focus in the areas of library
- management, repetitive drawing functions, and project management. Based
- upon a user survey, the PowerTools enhancement package was created.
-
- Currently Schema maintains one net label throughout all pages of a project;
- the new SHOWNET feature provides an easy means of tracking a net by
- displaying a quick reference of the location of all pins in a net. A new
- pagemaking utility allows users to design and create custom bordered
- drawing sheets with a title block. New library management functions
- include a utility which creates a graphical part directory displaying
- parts and names for specified libraries or library subsets. Also included
- are local library and print functions which operate on parts associated
- with top level drawing sheets and their respective hierarchies.
-
- Key new features of PowerTools include user selectable automatic annotation
- of reference designators and gates, a search & replace function for
- labels, reference designators, parameters, objects or text, and a special
- pagesort function to greatly speed plotting. PowerTools operates with any
- Schema version 2.1 or greater. PowerTools retails for $99 and includes two
- other utilities, HexEdit hexadecimal editor and SCHEMA GL, a utility which
- allows any HPGL file to be output to any printer. For more information,
- call OMATION, 801 Presidential Drive, Richardson, TX 75081 (800)
- 553-9119.
