What's New in eCADSTAR 2026.0

Create a design library from your old Schematic and PCB design.

Instead of sharing your full library with your customer, just share a design library that only contains the library data used in the design.

Or if you need to modify an old design that may contain obsolete components that are no longer present in your master library, you can still obtain the old library data — without cluttering your master library.

When multiple library paths are defined, the Library Searcher now searches across all defined libraries automatically, eliminating the need to switch manual between them — saving valuable time.

If the same part exists in more than one library, only one result is shown, prioritized according to library order (first in the list).

In addition to the already supported Pin-Length, Pin-Delay is now supported as well (up to the choice of the electronic engineer or PCB designer).

Pin-Delay represents the time required for a signal to travel from the die contact pad to the solder pad in the package through the internal connection (bond wire).

Support for Pin-Delay support is essential in todays high-speed PCB design, helping to manage the timing and signal integrity of high-frequency signals.

The lengthen command will adjust the routing patterns to meet the required delay, taking the Pin-Delay into account, helping to prevent issues like skew or jitter in high-speed designs.

The Pin-Delay can be defined both at part level in the Library Editor and component pin level in the Constraint Browser of the PCB Editor.
