Convenient Project Management
To manage various job files within same project efficiently, symbols and schematic used in each project are managed together. It is very easy to handle data, and uses drag & drop feature to register and remove all types of data (supports both hierarchical and multiple sheet design).

Advanced Library Manager
Various symbols can be searched and inserted into the sheet by simple and fast way from the list of over 80,000 libraries. Preview window and drag & drop function will make it easier. Modification of library is also very easy and latest libraries are continuously supplied through internet.

Fastest and Dynamic Zoom & Scroll
Schematic Designer's original graphic processor provides the best performance in zooming and panning. This will be a key factor of productivity enhancement by reducing redundant time for frequent screen handling job.

Module Library Support
Frequently used circuit is provided as a type of module library which can be utilized like other libraries. It will help to avoid repeated work.

Interface with OA Tools
Part or all of sheet data can be exported to any office tool for qualified documentation. Also BOM (Bill of Material) can be connected to spread sheet programs for the automatic output of data.

Vector Graphic/WMF Support
Windows Metafile (WMF) type is supported when the data is exported to office tools. This helps maintaining original data after size modification that the quality of graphic data is guaranteed in report.

Design Debugger
DRC (Design Rule Check) and ERC (Electrical Rule Check) function with new concepts displays location and reason of error in a working sheet. The text type error list can be linked to the real location of error by double clicking on the list.

Selection of Node Color
Color change of each node is available to designate the specific routing rule or for other purposes. This color information can be linked to PCB track data for routing by designated rule.

Interface with Simulator
Schematic Designer provides interface data for various simulation programs such as Spice simulation products. Data for analysis is linked directly and the result can be confirmed.

Netlist for many PCB Tools
Around 30 types of netlist can be generated to support the linkage with popular PCB tools in addition to PCB Designer. It covers Pads, P-cad, Cadstar, Mentor, Cadnetix, Tango, etc.

Dynamic Link between Schematic Designer & PCB Designer
1. Direct connection of netlist data to PCB Designer without managing netlist file (Send to PCB) Netlist data of Schematic Designer is sent to PCB Designer, and PCB Designerautomatically receives and displays PCB package and net information at the origin point of PCB document window simultaneously. This procedure is done by single click.
2. Automatic and consistent updating between Schematic and PCB data (Update to PCB) When PCB data must be revised, users usually revise PCB data first and revise circuit later if the tool does not support automatic updating function between schematic and PCB data. However, it may cause inconsistency between schematic and PCB data bringing the possible fault in productivity and resource management.
Schematic Designer supports automatic and consistent updating function to PCB Designer. Owing to this function, change of circuit data can be updated to PCB only by revised portion while part and track location is maintained. The biggest merit of this function is especially in the case of frequent upgrading or revision of PCB design. Enhanced productivity will be guaranteed.
3. Linked dual window to inspect Schematic and PCB simultaneously Linked Schematic Designer and PCB Designer document window can be opened simultaneously as dual window. Part can be placedin PCB by linkage function referring to the circuit, or design and inter-connection of pair data can be inspected completely referring to the routing status.

Linkage between Schematic Part and PCB Package
Schematic symbol and PCB package are displayed together. Owing to symbol preview window, schematic symbol is matched with PCB package in Package Linker by drag & drop.
