OrCAD X design solutions

OrCAD X is available in two primary editions. The difference lies in the complexity of your projects and the need for advanced analysis.

OrCAD X Standard

Designers who need a complete solution for the entire design process.

Standard includes:

Presto PCB Editor and Rigid-Flex design

3D Canvas and Visualization

DFM (Design for Manufacturing) checks

Cloud Services & collaboration tools

Review & markup

Try Standard for free

OrCAD X Professionel

Designers who need advanced features, real-time feedback, and high-speed/flex print.

Includes everything from Standard, plus:

Advanced 3D-handling and special routing

Design for Assembly (DFA) and Signal Integrity checks

Extensive electrical rules (timing, crosstalk, reflection)

LiveBOM and advanced component and variant management

Real-time feedback (DFM/DFx) during layout

Impedance & Coupling analysis
