AUTOMATIC AND INTERACTIVE ROUTING OrCAD PCB Designer and OrCAD PCB Designer with PSpice both include ® SPECCTRA for OrCAD, the marketleading PCB solution for automatic and interactive interconnect routing. Designed to handle routing challenges from simple designs to high-density PCBs requiring complex design rules, SPECCTRA for OrCAD uses powerful shape-based algorithms to make the most efficient use of the routing area. The results are increased completion rates, higher productivity, and shorter design cycle times. SPECCTRA for OrCAD provides two powerful tools for interconnect routing: a route editor and an autorouter. Both can route up to six signal layers concurrently, with no restriction on the number of components, component pins, or nets. Figure 4: OrCAD PCB Editor provides a powerful environment for floorplanning and auto/interactive interconnect routing. FEATURES PCB EDITING TECHNOLOGY At the heart of the OrCAD PCB design suites is OrCAD PCB Editor, an interactive environment for creating and editing simple to complex, multi-layer PCBs. The extensive feature set addresses a wide range of today's design and manufacturability challenges.
