IXD file is a CAD document file format developed to allow users of different ECAD programs to easily share design data. It solves file compatibility issues between various existing ECAD programs, ensures the integrity of design data, and provides security features to create a safe and effective collaboration environment.
Difficult to view/share due to different file formats for each ECAD tool
Integrate into viewable/shareable IXD files no matter what ECAD program you use.
Expensive ECAD program installation required to view drawings
Anyone can check drawings with free interCAD Reader that can be installed
EXE files for drawing sharing are blocked in mail or
delivery errors
Solves sharing issues in the form of a single IXD file that can be transferred safely
File compatibility issues delay review when collaborating across departments
All departments can view and review drawings just by installing Reader.
Consolidate various ECAD tool formats into a single IXD file for viewing/sharing
With the free interCAD Reader Anyone can view drawings
Safe and easy drawing transfer with a single IXD file
Real-time collaboration possible without worrying about interdepartmental drawing compatibility
IXD can maintain the integrity of the original design drawing even when Schematic, Layout, ODB++, and Gerber data created in the ECAD program used are combined into a single file.
It has strong security features to prevent external exposure of shared design documents.
To prevent communication errors that occur when working via email or phone, we support a Review function that allows workers to write their opinions.
By attaching the materials that need to be referenced during work to the IXD file, we support sending the design data and materials as a single file.
With the increasing importance of security, interCAD Editor provides various powerful security options to support the safe sharing of design drawings.
IXD files generated by interCAD Reader or Editor contain the schematic and all components, layers, etc. of the PCB, allowing you to review the exact same data as the original.
For example, if a partner only has a schematic in OrCAD Capture, we will create an IXD file with the PCB drawing and send it to you using interCAD Editor.
The recipient can easily review the schematic and PCB drawing by viewing them simultaneously using the free product interCAD Reader.
interCAD Reader can use the main functions of interCAD Editor except Share Package and Translator functions.
However, Compare function is provided only for CAM drawings.
Only CAM Compare (Gerber vs Gerber, ODB++ vs ODB++) is supported in interCAD Reader.
PCB or schematic comparison is only available in interCAD Editor, so if you need this function, please use the Editor.
Familiar environment, powerful performance, and one-click start.
