DESIGN STUDIO
PCB DESIGN STUDIO BENEFITS
A COMPLETE PCB DESIGN SOLUTION
PCB Design Studio contains everything you need to go from concept
to production. It includes design capture, librarian tools, PCB
editor, an auto/interactive router, as well as interfaces for manufacturing,
mechanical CAD, and even translators for other PCB systems.
FUTURE-PROOF SCALABILITY
Unlike other affordable PCB solutions, PCB Design Studio has the
capability to grow with your needs and technology challenges. Studio
options allow add-on capabilities for high-speed constraint-driven
design, system-wide constraint management, scripting language, advanced
physical rules support, and variant design. All of these extra capabilities
are seamlessly integrated with the PCB Design Studio. Based on the
market-leading Allegro® Expert technology, PCB Design Studio
provides industry proven capability with the secure knowledge that
whatever your current or future design challenge, you have the ability
to scale to meet those challenges easily.
DRIVEN BY AN EASY-TO-USE WIZARD THROUGHOUT
With all the capability and power PCB Design Studio has to offer,
it's still an easy-to-use system. First, PCB Design Studio comes
with an interactive multi-media tutorial that gets you up and running
and productive in a few PCB Design Studio brings together all the
tools you need to design high-quality, production-level PCBs. Constraint
Manager available as part of the Allegro Performance Option, can
define, manage, and verify high-speed physical net rules throughout
the entire design flow.short
hours. Second is PCB Design Studio's focus on an intuitive use model.
For example, every input dialog has a browser and all design tasks
are "wizard" driven, making tasks easy to understand while
you stay productive.
DESIGN SYNCHRONIZATION BOOSTS PRODUCTIVITY
Design synchronization boosts productivity through concurrent design
by providing you with the ability to analyze the schematic and PCB,
and then highlight differences by category. You can then decide
which changes are to be observed and the appropriate system will
automatically be updated.
MAKE THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF THE ROUTING AREA WITH SPECCTRA
AUTOROUTING SPECCTRA®
autorouter is the proven market leading solution for automatic and
interactive interconnect routing. Designed to handle high-density
printed circuit boards that require complex design rules, SPECCTRA
uses powerful shape-based algorithms to make the most efficient
use of the routing area. With over tens of thousands of seats sold,
SPECCTRA is the industry's most production-proven routing technology
in use today.
