PADS introduction video's

Layout Overview (3:16 min)

PADS Layout integrates seamlessly with the rest of PADS PCB Design Solutions, making PADS Layout part of a complete, integrated flow for design definition, analysis, planning, and layout.

Push and Shove (2:19 min)

PADS Router is a shape-based, gridless route editor that enhances design productivity.

Advanced RF Editing (1:35 min)

PADS RF design solution provides integration of PCB design and RF circuit design.

Design For Test (1:30 min)

PADS DFT Audit is an embedded design for test auditing tool that allows you to perform DFT analysis and verification before releasing the PCB for fabrication.

Design For Fabrication (55 sec)

PADS DFF Audit Ensures your designs can be manufactured — before they are released to fabrication — will significantly reduce costs and time-to-market.

Physical Design Reuse (1:07 min)

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.

3D PCB Viewer (51 sec)

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.

Cross Probing (1:15 min)

Easy-to-use schematic capture and PCB Layout. Cross-probing for bi-directional ECO to and from layout. Detailed attribute and design rule definition to control automatic transfer of design rules to and from PADS Layout

ECAD-MCAD Collaboration (1:20 min)

ECAD-MCAD Collaboration reduces collaboration challenges between electrical and mechanical design domains. Ensures that the ECAD design matches MCAD requirements for a clean project development.

DxDatabook (2:00 min)

Efficient part-selection capabilities enable compliance with Corporate library standards. The ability to detect changes in suppliers and part-approval status minimizes respin delays and reduces costs before they can affect layout and manufacturing.

Variant Manager (1:06 min)

Variant Manager makes the handling of multiple PCB builds much simpler than other methods, and helps to eliminate data errors.
