Stop losing time to avoidable PCB clarification loops
In PCB development, the design itself is only half the story. The other half is documentation that helps everyone involved quickly understand the board, the constraints, and the manufacturing-relevant details. That is exactly where the Design Report in PCB-Investigator adds value.
When design, fabrication, and production teams work from incomplete or inconsistent information, the result is usually the same: follow-up questions, delays, and avoidable rework. A structured report solves that by consolidating the key parameters of the board into one editable document.
What the Design Report captures
PCB-Investigator automatically generates a Word document with the most important PCB data. Because the output is editable, you can add company information, adapt it to internal procedures, or extend it with analysis results from other plug-ins.
- Number of steps and layer-related information
- Net names, components, and pins
- Layer structure details
- Board size with an outline sketch
- Number of drills and smallest drill size
If needed, the report can also be exported as RTF, which makes it easy to reuse across workflows and documentation environments.
For engineering teams, better documentation is not administrative overhead — it is process efficiency.
The practical benefit is simple: fewer follow-up questions, clearer handoffs, and a more consistent basis for collaboration across the PCB lifecycle. If your team wants to streamline design-to-fab communication, the Design Report is worth a close look.
