key benefits

A SINGLE VIEWING SOLUTION TO VIEW PCB LAYOUTS, SCHEMATICS
AND MANUFACTURING DOCUMENTS

By providing native document viewing for the most common EDA formats (design and manufacturing), as well as Graphic and Office documents, AutoVue EDA Professional provides both technical and non-technical users with the ability to access, view, manipulate, and interrogate EDA documents.

Regardless of which EDA formats team members, customers, and suppliers work with, AutoVue EDA Professional provides users with the means to access crucial design information during all stages of the design and manufacturing process, including design, layout, verification, prototyping, testing, and debugging. Expensive licenses of EDA tools are not required to view or access the files and users must no longer manage multiple viewing solutions to view the multitude of design and manufacturing files with which they interact.

AutoVue EDA Professional can also be integrated into existing Document Management, Product Lifecycle Management or Enterprise Resource Planning systems, providing a comprehensive enterprise visualization platform that makes native documents available to the entire organization and supply chain in a secure manner, wherever they may reside.

protect intellectual property

One major challenge in electronic product development is collaborating externally with outsourced overseas partners, while protecting valuable intellectual property. AutoVue EDA Professional, Web Version’s unique streaming technology ensures that original documents, with proprietary data, are never transferred to the client desktop for viewing or markup, thereby safeguarding valuable intellectual property.  

In addition, markups and annotations are created as distinct overlays, on top of the original file. Partners or suppliers can provide their feedback and comments and cannot modify or edit original design files, ensuring that the proprietary design files remain unaltered at all times.

STANDARDIZE THE PCB DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS

With globally dispersed teams and suppliers, the need to collaborate is greater than ever. By providing the ability to view and collaborate on a PCB design in progress, AutoVue EDA Professional accelerates the flow of information among the entire product development team. Using AutoVue EDA Professional’s rich set of markup entities, team members can easily communicate and track change requests, comments, observations, and instructions, shortening the design review cycle, reducing the number of costly board spins, and increasing an organization’s ability to meet their design schedules.

AutoVue EDA Professional’s viewing and markup capabilities also allow organizations to standardize the PCB design review process on a single solution, providing the entire product development team, as well as outsourcing partners, with greater visibility into the development process, and facilitating project management and design sub-processes control.

AutoVue EDA Professional, Web Version, also features real-time collaboration capabilities that allow team members and suppliers to perform instant web review sessions, and provide real time responses for troubleshooting scenarios.

SIMPLE IT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION

AutoVue EDA Professional views native EDA design files and does not convert to a neutral or proprietary format for viewing. By eliminating the need to convert documents, a time consuming and complex process, which may result in data errors or inaccurate files, AutoVue EDA Professional ensures that document integrity is maintained in all circumstances. AutoVue enables users to manage a single data set, i.e the original native files, and delivers a simple IT infrastructure for enterprise visualization.
