Overview

DxDesigner can reduce your time to completion, increase your design’s overall quality, and easily migrate your PADS Logic libraries and PCB designs to DxDesigner.

PADS Logic is an easy-to-use schematic entry tool used by designers around the world. However, if you need the capability to do more than just draw a schematic, you need a tool that enables complete PCB design creation.

With a powerful schematic design environment like DxDesigner, you can:

  • Reduce product cost and improve performance by ensuring proper component selection
  • Reduce time to market and increase quality through efficient design reuse
  • Set connectivity for high pin-count devices like FPGAs and connectors in an easy-to-use table
  • Improve personal productivity and design performance through tight integration with simulation, analysis and layout.
  • Reduce costs and library management overhead by tying your CAD library to your company's MRP/ERP systems
  • Avoid costly rework and shorten time-to-market through effective definition and variant management.

What You Will Learn

  • How to migrate your PADS Logic libraries and designs to DxDesigner
  • How the powerful and easy-to-use features in DxDesigner help you meet business objectives
  • How DxDesigner can increase your productivity throughout the design flow
