ProductView ECAD Compare

(formerly InterComm EDAcompare)

Automating PCB design comparison

As designs of electronics products evolve, understanding what has changed is not easily accomplished. However, with ProductView ECAD Compare, the process of determining the difference between two versions of the PCB schematic, layout, or manufacturing artwork is greatly simplified. With both attribute- and graphical-based comparisons, users can assess which changes necessitate deeper review, thereby reducing idle time.

Benefits

• Dramatically reduce time spent identifying differences between PCB designs
• Analyze parametric (design, component, net basic, net advanced, pin) as well as geometric differences
• Increase productivity of electrical engineers validating layout changes
• Improve accuracy of design comparisons via easy Web-based and XML difference reports
• Improve understanding of modifications made by external manufacturing
• Increase ease-of-use by working with a single solution for all design comparisons
