We’ve launched , a brand new way for Quilter users to define and manage trace width or amperage constraints for individual net classes, nets, or pins in their design. Defining constraints ensures Quilter’s AI router will use trace widths that are appropriate for the physical and electrical constraints of the design.

After uploading your board, you can choose to define constraints (in amps or mm/mils), import constraints from a prior design, or continue without defining constraints.

Constraints manager is available today for all designs (KiCAD, Altium, EAGLE).

Quilter users can now upload their schematic along with their board file to Quilter for compilation, enabling components that are directly and implicitly connected in the schematic to be placed together in layout. More logical component placement should result in easier design comprehension and debugging.

To take advantage of schematic-informed placement, simply upload your root schematic along with your board file using the same name as your board. This feature is available today for KiCAD designs, with Altium coming soon.
