DATASHEET
PCB EDITOR
PCB Editor, part of the eCADSTAR product, is a borderless electronic
design environment. Has a part become obsolete? Then using the internet-
connected platform, eCADSTAR Web Part Lookup allows you to rapidly
search for an alternative and it will appear directly on your cursor with one
click.
PCB Editor, is a powerful and intelligent PCB layout tool that enables you
to create board shapes, arrange components, define routing patterns and
produce manufacturing outputs.
It utilizes the new unified eCADSTAR user interface which has been designed
to be easy to interpret, customizable and quick to learn. Furthermore, the
interface is common across all applications within eCADSTAR, so regardless
of which application you’re working in, it always feels familiar.

and intuitive routing generation. Your designs
are ready to manufacture in just a few clicks,
in whatever industry standard format you
require.
Supporting both a fully managed and rapid

prototyping design flow, eCADSTAR is fully
flexible to support your design needs. Use
Schematic data to drive your PCB layout and
define constraints.
Reuse existing layout and routing with board
blocks or collaborate with other layout
engineers by dividing your design into child
boards.
POWERFUL ROUTING TOOLS
eCADSTAR includes a variety of manual and
auto-interactive routing tools that make
net completion a breeze, regardless of the
signal type. Inheriting constraints such as
track width and spacings from the constraint
browser and rule editor, in combination with
real-time design rule checks, and definable
restriction/rule areas - routing tools in
eCADSTAR are error-free.

DOCUMENTATION AND EXPORTS
Developing your design documentation
needn’t be an afterthought, with
documentation layers you can generate
manufacturing information such as
dimension lines, drill hole tables and scaled
areas alongside your design content. Send
your design straight to manufacture with
export of native, industry standards, data
formats such as OBD++, IPC-2581, and
IPC-D-356A.
BOARD BLOCK
Place and route your designs quicker than
ever, reuse existing circuitry by importing
board blocks that you’ve created previously,
or divide your design for reuse and
collaboration.
Define board block areas within your design

and extract the contents to separate design
files. The block areas are locked within the
parent design, but the generated child board
may be viewed and modified as a separate
design by other users. The child boards can
later be reimported into the parent or any
other design, reusing any content within it
such as placement, routing, and silkscreen.
BUNDLES
eCADSTAR can be purchased in one
of four configurations; starting from
eCADSTAR Base, via eCADSTAR Advanced
3D, eCADSTAR Advanced HS (High-speed),
and up to eCADSTAR Ultimate (containing
Base, Advanced 3D and Advanced HS). With
modular bundles, optional modules and
flexible authorization, eCADSTAR is always
the right fit for your needs.
