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
Modular Components
- DxDataManager & DxPDF DxPDF enables others to view your schematics as a PDF document. DxDataManager is internet enabled design data management.
- DxDataBook DxDataBook is a component search-and-selection tool that allows design engineers to quickly search for and locate parts over a corporate Intranet or the Internet.
