OrCAD PCB Editor provides a powerful and flexible set of floorplanning tools. Powerful shape-based shove/hug interactive etch creation/editing provides a highly productive interconnect environment. Interactive, shape-based, any-angle, push/shove routing lets users choose between “shove-preferred” and “hug-preferred” modes. The real-time, embedded routing engine optimizes the route by either pushing obstacles or contour-following obstacles while dynamically jumping vias or component pins. Custom, controllable, on-the-fly smoothing automatically tunes the route for manufacturability during routing or route editing.
OrCAD PCB Editor is available as part of the OrCAD PCB Designer Suite.
