PCB Design Fundamentals using Cadence OrCAD PCB Editor Webinar

Designing a printed circuit board (PCB) can be quite a challenge when you dont understand the
capabilities of your design tools. Creating designs with critical requirements and narrow deadlines requires
engineers to have comprehensive knowledge of the CAD tool you use daily. Even understanding some of
the fundamental operations like importing / exporting mechanical CAD data, creating a PCB library of
footprints, physical constraints management etc., can save time and make your job easier and more
productive.

In this webinar we will demonstrate how Cadence OrCAD PCB Editor, a key product within the OrCAD
PCB Designer suite, offers an extensive feature set to address todays design challenges and
manufacturability concerns. Youll also discover how the constraint-driven PCB layout editing tool derived
from Cadence Allegro technology can provide the ability to communicate necessary information back and
forth with other tools involved in the design process.
