Schematic design software is more than just a simple tool, it should be augmented with great features like DRCs and component libraries.

You can avoid a lot of design and manufacturing problems as well as saving time on your next PCB design by saving multi circuit board design rules for reuse.

PCB design guidelines should not be feared and instead be looked at as valuable tools that will help us navigate our way through the design process.

Reducing electronics waste is an endeavor that can be begun throughout all stages of the design and production process. Utilizing smart guidelines makes it easier.

With OrCAD, it’s easy to reuse past designs to ensure productivity, minimize design errors and get to market with verified technology faster.

Create custom workflows for specific tasks or roles–like library creation or quality control checks–to quickly access frequently used commands.

Easily reuse validated constraints and improve design quality and time to market.

Hierarchical design makes it easy to re-use blocks of known good circuits from other designs so you can quickly define individual circuits at a higher level.

Prototyping can be one of the most stressful parts of production. Engineering prototyping workflow management will ensure even under duress your process maintains.

No one likes doing the same task over when it could have been done better the first time. By implementing DFM and DFA, you can avoid the wasted time, additional cost, and frustration of PCB assembly a

As PCB Designers, we are often tasked with filling out a board with geometry that repeats itself. Better physical resemblance usually equals better performance.

It is a wonderful time to be a maker of products. Find an underserved niche and give the world a tangible solution. Famous movie quote, “If you build it, they will come.” The hard part becomes finding

In the Enhanced Symbol Editor, there's no need to leave symbol creation environment to perform any edits/ changes. Efficient selection of overlapped objects, hence easy to differentiate leading...

Real-time DRC engine provides immediate constraint pass/fail feedback as the design progresses, enabling designers to make quick adjustments on the fly.

Building libraries is a pain. Ultra Librarian for OrCAD brings millions of symbols, footprints, and 3D models straight onto the OrCAD desktop. See how easy it is to search, preview, and place...

Have you or your team ever designed a board with the intention of reusing the same parts and circuits in future projects? Oftentimes you will run into instances where portions of your circuitry...

Moving a design from concept to a completed board is an involved process—especially when the design is outsourced—there are many opportunities for problems to arise. In order to mitigate potential...

Placing components has traditionally been a tedious, manual process no one in today’s day in age—with all the technological advancements out there—wants to deal with. As timelines shorten and an...

As a PCB design engineer today, you experience a large amount of pressure to create smaller, faster, more intelligent products. Consequently, it has become increasingly important for ECAD and MCAD...

How many times have you worked on a design where three different people created the symbol, footprint, and 3D model—and of course they don’t match? The symbol doesn’t have the right number of...
