Virtual PCB/MCAD collaboration
Engineers can make critical decisions based on form-factor constraints that include:
Electronic content
Connectivity
Material
Component selection
This can be done while both PCB and MCAD designers are working in their own environments. Using the industry standard ProSTEP file exchange format (IDX) ensures PADS Professional Premium will be able to collaborate with the most popular MCAD design tools.
When using Siemens Solid Edge or NX software, users gain the benefit of direct 3D model import from PADS Professional Premium to MCAD, eliminating the redundancy and extra effort of managing two libraries. Collaborate with some of the other most popular MCAD design tools like:
