Overview
OrCAD
®
PCB Productivity Toolbox provides a suite of utilities
focused on improving your PCB designer's productivity by
enabling or streamlining many design tasks that are common or
emerging today. The toolbox utilities are integrated directly into
the OrCAD PCB Editors GUI and command structure, providing
little to no impact to the designer's use habit of the tool, while
delivering measurable benefit.
Features
While varying in their capabilities, the utilities in OrCAD PCB
Productivity Toolbox focus on improving existing use models and
reducing designer input/interaction.
