OrCAD X

Design Fast – Design Correct –
Design Connected

Unmatched capacity for designing

Unmatched capacity for designing

Have you ever come back to a hometown favorite ice cream stand after a few years only to see it totally re-modeled? With OrCAD® X we hope to pull out that, “Wow,” reaction from both new users and engineers who have been with us for decades.

A completely new layout environment, unmatched capacity for designing, and a vital, hybrid-cloud approach to team collaboration, component libraries, design reuse, and data management empowers engineers.

Personalize, connect, design

Every engineer is operating at such variable scales of complexity these days, don’t let cost determine what you’re capable of. OrCAD X introduces scalability-by-efficiency, not complexity, so you can pursue any design at the speed you need.

Comfort at every stage

The new OrCAD X is built with an optimal layout environment, tested rigorously to improve adoption, workflow, and clickability. Minimize on-screen clutter, automate repetitive tasks, and get into the design faster than ever.

Hybrid Cloud Flexibility

We have expanded the core of OrCAD to include Allegro technology and our OnCloud structure. Cloud-enabled design means collaborative, intuitive data management, project management, library management, and part creation brought to you through unified storage and access.

Features

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence

Automated place and route technology improves speed of layout dramatically, and can improve efficiency of crucial board dimensions like wiring.

LiveDOC

Real-time update for your design data

Centralize your design data to ensure maximum accuracy throughout the design and utilize real-time component information to make manufacturing output easy.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM)

Ensure Design Manufacturability

Easily create and assign constraints for manufacturing based on IPC standards and common PCB rules.

Constraint Engine

Allegro power meets OrCAD comfort

Use the trusted, entire Allegro constraint engine for the first time in OrCAD to tackle any level of complexity in your designs.

Always available snapping, grid controls

Built with intuitive comfort in mind

Don’t waste clicks and time working for functions that you use frequently.

Part Manager

Robust part creation and manager

Part manager makes sourcing, purchasing, and updating based on part availability easy. Additionally, it ensures that you can receive and give real-time updating to existing part libraries.

All Legacy Capabilities

Same OrCAD, but better

What else can we say? We will not take away any capacity, only improved upon them all to make your next project easier than ever.
