Arcadia Release Notes – July 25th, 2025

This release introduces practical enhancements to Arcadia that simplify wire routing, improve alignment, and minimise manual effort. These updates are designed to enhance wire management efficiency, support design accuracy, and strengthen data integrity.

Quick Wire Routing

Earlier, wire routing required connecting pins one by one, making the process repetitive and time-consuming. The new Quick Wire Routing feature streamlines this by enabling connections between multiple source and destination pins/components, with a preview before finalising the route.

Benefits:
  • Significantly reduces time spent on wire creation
  • Supports drag selection, component-level, or individual pin selection
  • Offers a live preview with the option to reorder pins before applying the route

Smart Move

Earlier, moving a component would often distort connected wires, which required manual realignment. With Smart Move, wires now adjust automatically, inserting bends where needed to maintain clarity and alignment.

Benefits:
  •  Automatically aligns wires cleanly when components are moved
  • Minimises manual corrections
  • Works even better when combined with Group Move of Bends for improved efficiency

Unique Revision + Part Number+ Issue Validation

Previously, it was possible to reuse the same combination of Part Number ,Revision and Issue across multiple Projects. This led to confusion and made tracking difficult. This update introduces a validation to ensure each combination is unique across all projects.

Benefits:
  • Prevents duplicate entries across projects
  • Improves filtering and data traceability
  • Enables better organization and clarity in project tasks  

Enhanced Data Integrity

Several improvements have been made to enhance stability and reliability, particularly within the schematic environment.

Benefits:
  • Clearer Error Messages: Receive more informative feedback when data needs attention before submission.
  • Improved Validation Logic: Detect inconsistencies early to prevent errors before they occur

These updates are designed to provide a smoother and more confident design experience across Arcadia.
