3D PCB Viewer 0:51
The 3D PCB Viewer is tightly integrated with the design system. Imported
mechanical graphics enable the user to visualize the PCB in its ultimate
surroundings early in the process and make necessary changes.
Physical Design Reuse 1:07
PDR makes reusing proven circuitry easier and more efficient by supporting the creation, saving, and placement of physical reuse elements, independent of the schematic source.
