Description

OrCAD® X is a unified PCB design software platform. It offers significant improvements to ease of use, performance and automation. Our product suite includes applications for schematic, PCB layout, simulation and data management. OrCAD X Capture, a schematic design solution for electrical circuit creation and documentation, is one of OrCAD's most popular products. PSpice®, our virtual SPICE simulation engine integrated into Capture, allows you to prototype and verify your designs using industry-leading native analog, mixed signal, and advanced analysis engines. OrCAD X Presto and OrCAD X PCB editor are two PCB layout tools that allow designers to easily collaborate between ECAD/MCAD teams and build better PCBs faster. OrCAD X Presto is our new, simplified interface for novice designers, electrical engineers and PCB designers focused on quick turn PCB designs.

Description

SkyCAD streamlines the processes of wire and component numbering, parts list management, BOM creation, cross-reference updates, and panel layout designs, among other functionalities. It incorporates features such as automated numbering and parts-list management, cross-references, and license sharing, all without the need for user training. With distinctive design-reuse capabilities like design-by-systems and configuration management, the software promotes both efficiency and uniformity in projects. The platform includes user-friendly tools for the automatic generation of PLC and other component blocks, and it can create PLC drawings directly from an Excel I/O list. Additionally, the panel layout design process is integrated seamlessly within the software. SkyCAD accommodates both European and American drawing conventions. A comprehensive library of tutorials alongside active support forums helps users quickly familiarize themselves with the software's functionalities. Users can choose between a standard (free) license that satisfies many needs or an advanced license that offers extra features at an affordable price. Moreover, the software's flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of industries and project types.

Pricing Details

$107 USD/month
OrCAD X is offered in both term and perpetual licensing. Term licensing is based on a 12 month period and reduces the upfront product cost while providing access to all services. It includes support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Perpetual licensing has a higher upfront cost, but allows indefinite use of the purchased version. It includes the first year of maintenance which covers support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Unlike a term license maintenance must be maintained to provide continual access to support, software updates, and access to new product versions.

Additional features and license options will affect the price.
