Tool creates a bridge for ECAD and MCAD

The CADSTAR BoardModeler Lite design tool provides an optimized environment for the verification of the PCB layout in its mechanical environment. The tool creates a bridge between the ECAD and MCAD world using the industrial formats that are in common use in the MCAD world, namely ACIS, STEP, and STL.

Visualization, measurement, and online design-rule checking capabilities allow the electrical design to be checked against the mechanical requirements. The tool also offers an enhanced 3D environment to ensure that the PCB design fits the mechanical product design. Using visual overview, the designer monitors where problems are occurring.
