Common PCB software

1. PCB ERP software: paradagm
Currently more famous, cim-sys
2. PCB automatic material cutting system: currently better PCB automatic material cutting system 5.0
3. PCB audit software: pcbpartner
Features include: automatic review, automatic imposition, automatic quotation, smart search, same process Gerber search
4. PCB auxiliary software: CAD type software. There are a variety of software, such as
Powerpcb/Protel: the most widely used design software in China
Mentor/PADS/Allegro/Autocad, etc.
5. PCB modification software CAM:
Such as Genesis2000: station-level software is very helpful for the work of CAM engineers.
CAM350: an essential tool for engineers
C-CAM/V2000/etc.
6. Software for PCB impedance calculation: Cits25/si6000/si8000 produced by Polar Company
7. There are other mainstream PCB software such as:
Protel

OrCAD

Viewlogic
PowerPCB
Cadence PSD
Expedition PCB of MentorGraphices
Zuken CadStart
Winboard/ Windraft/Ivex-SPICE
PCB Studio
TANGO, etc.

PCB Software: Protel

Protel is a CAD tool introduced by PROTEL in the late 1980s and is the software of choice for PCB designers. The early Protel was mainly used as a printed board automatic routing tool. Protel99SE is now widely used. It is a complete omnidirectional circuit design system, including electrical schematic drawing, mixed circuit simulation of analog and digital circuits, and multilayer printed circuit board. Design (including automatic layout of printed circuit boards), programmable logic device design, chart generation, circuit table generation, support for macro operations, etc., and has Client/Server (client server architecture, also compatible with some other design software files) Formats such as ORCAD, PSPICE, EXCEL, etc. The automatic routing of multi-layer printed circuit boards enables 100% throughput of high-density PCBs. Protel software is powerful, user-friendly and easy to use, but it is the most representative. It is circuit design and PCB design.

PCB software selection experience

Protel, protel 99se, protel DXP, Altium, constantly upgrading software
Cadence SPB 16.5 is more powerful than protel
BOARDSTATION is only for UNIX systems, not for PCs.
Mentor EE 7.9 and Cadence spb belong to the same level of PCB design software, the strength is the pull line, flying line, known as the flying line king.
EAGLE Layout Europe's most widely used PCB design software.

Used more, Cadence spb and MentorEE.
