eCADSTAR has been designed to streamline your design process, with a common and familiar user interface across all applications.
Work efficiently and consistently, with tabbed windows, dockable panels, ribbon menus and quick access toolbars. All customizable, making the operations you use most frequently even more accessible.
In a connected world eCADSTAR allows for added design efficiencies through the integration of several web-based services, including:
Utilising the latest technologies, eCADSTAR has been built to take advantages of the recent step-changes in computing power, including:
Meet your electrical performance criteria by setting design constraints. Apply constraints to parts, pins, electrical nets (E-nets), differential pairs and other objects in Constraint Browser.
Once you can work in 3D, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. In a 3D world you need the full picture. But if you prefer you can always keep in 2D. The choice is yours.
eCADSTAR’s PCB Editor is a powerful and intelligent PCB layout tool that enables you to create board shapes, arrange components, define routing patterns and produce manufacturing outputs.
With capabilities including design re-use, design variation, global product teamworking, online part sourcing, constraint management and much more, eCADSTAR Schematic Editor provides much more than traditional schematic entry.
In eCADSTAR you can reference a shared library from all eCADSTAR applications using the Library searcher panel. Approve parts within Library Editor to make them instantly available to designers.
You don’t always need a license to access eCADSTAR.
Addressing design issues early in the development process is key to reducing design iterations,
improving quality and reducing costs.
eCADSTAR supports migration from other vendors and tools. Using a simple wizard interface, you can upgrade your designs and part libraries to work natively in eCADSTAR and pick up where you left off.
Additional licenses are available for the Schematic Editor, building upon the single license available in all bundles of eCADSTAR.
Instead of creating multiple, slightly-different designs, you can define design variants in eCADSTAR Schematic Editor
Get to routing completion faster with our powerful automated routing engine. The eCADSTAR autorouting engine can perform a rich variety of tasks, from fan-out and acid-trap removal to routing completion.
Ease your migration or re-engineer your old designs quickly with Gerber Import
Share and collaborate on your eCADSTAR designs without using an Editor license.
Simulate, measure, share results independently of PCB design.
Causes can be subtle, but you can avoid a lot of PI and EMI trouble with eCADSTAR Power Integrity and EMI Analysis.
AMI analysis goes beyond traditional waveform simulation.
