What's new in BluePrint-PCB 2604
Blog by Patrick Hope
The recent addition of BluePrint-PCB to the Siemens portfolio represents a significant evolution for our customers, as it provides an advanced documentation tool for the PCB development lifecycle, from design through manufacturing release.
BluePrint-PCB helps engineering teams streamline PCB documentation by creating comprehensive fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, panel drawings, inspection documentation and related manufacturing outputs from PCB design data. Whether used as a standalone solution or integrated into an existing Xpedition environment, the 2604 release of BluePrint helps PCB design teams replace disjointed manual documentation steps with a more consistent, intelligent and design-driven documentation process.
What's new in BluePrint-PCB 2604
The 2604 release of BluePrint focuses on bringing the product more directly into the Siemens ecosystem. The release improves how customers access, manage and learn the software, while connecting them to Siemens support resources for help when they need it.
Key capabilities include:
- BluePrint-PCB is now delivered directly in the Xpedition software download
- BluePrint-PCB project data can be accessed through EDM via Xpedition Layout
- Global support through Siemens Support Center
- A stronger documentation flow for PCB design and manufacturing
BluePrint-PCB represents the de facto industry leader in PCB documentation creation.

With the latest enhancements, Xpedition now includes initial creepage clearance validation directly inside the layout environment. This shift left approach allows designers to detect and resolve insulation distance concerns during placement, routing and optimization, instead of discovering them only after a full verification pass.
Release PADS VX.2.8PADS Professional VX.2.8 focuses on enhancements to the core technology, many of which have been suggested by you through Mentor Ideas.
