DxDesigner

DxDesigner provides a sophisticated yet scalable design definition environment that integrates with Expedition Enterprise and PADS layout tools across multiple computing platforms.

Features and Benefits

  • Unifies the front-end design environment by integrating with most major PCB layout tools, saving support and training costs while enabling design sharing.
  • Integrates component and design data with the corporate enterprise, reducing part selection errors and enabling the easy distribution of design data.
  • Enables team-based design, reducing development time by encouraging design collaboration.
  • Supports design reuse and variant design, reducing time-to-market, improving product quality, and lowering product costs.
  • Promotes constraint-based design practices, allowing the early definition of critical component, performance, and layout constraints, which helps products to better meet market requirements.

  • Complete environment for capturing design intent.
  • Extensive hierarchical support enables design reuse
  • Design navigator allows component search based on reference designator, value, part number or any other attribute
  • Attribute editor provides simultaneous editing of multiple component attributes or nets across all sheets and hierarchical blocks
  • Automated net labeling reduces errors and saves time
  • Integrated parts browser searches for, adds, characterizes, and verifies parts
  • Integrated variant manager creates variant bills of materials (BOMs)
  • Integrated data management enables team design through file locking and version updating
