Platon is a CAD system for the intuitive creation of schematic captures and the design of PCB layouts. The schematic editor provides real-time annotation (forward annotation and back annotation in real time), pin and gate swapping, online net list generation, online ERC and a library database manager. The layout part of Platon contains features like a real-time DRC, an automatic ground/power plane generator and other intelligent surface algorithms (for example thermal breaks), the 100% Bartels Autorouter and all required CAM outputs.
