Turn scattered PCB data into a clear design report
In many PCB projects, the critical information is already there — it is just spread across CAD data, analysis results, and repeated questions from different teams. The Design Report in PCB-Investigator solves that problem by generating a structured overview of the most important board parameters automatically.
For engineers, designers, fabrication teams, and production stakeholders, that means fewer interruptions and a cleaner flow of information. Instead of assembling documentation manually, you get a report that is ready to share and easy to edit.
What the report includes
The plug-in compiles key PCB data into a Word document and can also be exported as RTF. Typical content includes:
- Number of layers and layer structure
- Net names, components, and pins
- Board size with an outline sketch
- Number of drills and smallest drill size
- Number of steps and other essential project data
You can also enrich the report with results from additional analyses, such as the Component Analysis plug-in. That makes the document more than a summary — it becomes a practical technical reference for reviews and production handoffs.
Built for collaboration, not just documentation
Because the report is generated as a Word document, it can be customized afterward with your company name, address, or project-specific notes. This is especially useful when multiple disciplines need to align quickly without digging through raw design files.
A strong design report reduces follow-up questions and helps teams make decisions faster.
If your current PCB documentation process still depends on manual assembly, this is worth a closer look. Explore PCB-Investigator and see how the Design Report can streamline your workflow from development to production.
