Complex technology is redefining requirements for efficiency, quality, and cost. With OrCAD X, you step into the next era of electronics development, where high-end features are now more accessible and user-friendly than ever before—a chance to explore advanced capabilities that were previously unavailable or limited to more expensive solutions.
With greater functionality, 10x higher performance, and an extremely intuitive user experience, OrCAD X allows you to realize projects at lower costs without compromising on quality.
A new era in PCB design has arrived with the OrCAD X design platform. OrCAD X takes the current industry-leading OrCAD Capture solution and expands it to offer a PCB design tool that is faster, more automated, and more connected than ever before.
This enables you to stay true to your original design layout, find and minimize errors with built-in analysis and simulation engines, promote better collaboration within design teams, and deliver your project on time and within budget.
OrCAD X is the future design platform for electronic development, encompassing all the tools for diagram drawing, component management, circuit simulation, team-based PCB design, SI analysis, and more.
With an intuitive and unified interface, you can smoothly navigate between schematic and layout design phases. A streamlined workflow is achieved with fewer mouse clicks and menus, more shortcuts, and quicker navigation, minimizing unnecessary barriers.
Cloud-based features provide access to component data that is quickly stored in the company's cloud library, including schematic symbols, datasheets, footprints, 3D models, and more. Libraries and design data are easily shared via the cloud among members or even with external partners in defined teams.
The new PCB solution offers unprecedented functionality such as team design, lightning-fast 3D, and integration with MCAD, all in one integrated package.
OrCAD X's new intuitive interface has been developed with a focus on user-friendliness, delivering a range of features that make it easier than ever to get started with PCB design. Quickly dive into PCB design without having to spend unnecessary time learning complex tools.
Created with simple and intuitive tools and menus, it is easy for designers to perform tasks and customize their workflow effortlessly. Complete time-consuming tasks quickly and enhance user-friendliness with customizations that meet your unique design needs.
With integrated 3D design functionality, your 2D schematic and PCB layout are transformed into a realistic 3D model.
OrCAD X is built on the 'Correct by Design' approach, which guides the creation of designs that adhere to industry standards and best practices from the outset. As a user constructs their design, the software actively enforces design rules, preventing common errors and violations. This proactive approach minimizes the chances of design issues that may later require extensive corrections in the process. By following this approach, time can be saved, rework reduced, and more reliable designs can be created. Learn more about the journey here.
