interCAD® Basic

It supports ECO (To-Layout), Cross-Probing, and Forward/Back Annotation between these models, and verifies human error factors to enable error-free design between heterogeneous models.
Software that can dramatically improve design speed by providing automation features not supported by ECAD tools.

interCAd basic

Forward Annotation

Automatically generate and update layout data without errors based on OrCAD circuits

Back Annotation

Maintain design consistency by reflecting layout changes back to the schematic

Footprint settings

Directly specify the component footprint and easily modify and manage it

DRC

Verification of design errors that may occur during the PCB layout data generation process using OrCAD schematics

Cross Probing

Support for component/Net click linking between schematic and layout

Excel Netlist to PADS LayoutPro

Create PADS Layout data, update change information, and support error verification (DRC)

Linkable EDA tools

OrCAD Capture / PADS Layout / Board Station Layout / Xpedition Layout (only cross probing supported)

Placement Block Copy

After placing the same Block once, the remaining Blocks are automatically copied and placed in the same way.

Net Length Report

Automatically reports the length of the selected Trace or the length connected between parts

FAQ

Is it available for all OS like Windows, MAC, Linux etc?

Currently only interCAD Basic supports Windows OS.

What versions of Windows are available?

interCAD Basic works properly on Windows 7 and later.

When I run the Cowork feature it doesn't work.

The Cowork feature is dependent on the PADS program, so it will not work unless PADS is running.

To use Cowork, PADS must be running first.

I'm trying to run the Union function but it's not working.

Union is a separate feature that provides various functions not supported by existing CAD tools.

To use this feature, Union must be run first before running related programs such as OrCAD Capture, PADS, or Mentor Board Station.

I'm trying to do Back Annotation from PADS to OrCAD Capture, but there is no option to load the .SWP file created with Cowork into OrCAD Capture.

This issue needs to be resolved by applying the Hotfix for OrCAD Capture.

Please update OrCAD Capture to the latest version or install the Hotfix.
