DesignWorks Professional for the Macintosh and iMac
Check out DesignWorks
Professional 4.5 with
native OS/X support!
Unique
in the EDA industry, DesignWorks works the way you do. With its intuitive graphical
interface you'll be completing projects, not reading manuals. Let DesignWorks form the
core of your engineering environment.
DesignWorks offers you the Best User Interface, bar none, for schematic capture.
The powerful interface provides seamless integration with all your engineering tools.
DesignWorks doesn't just provide an environment for a single goal. It allows you to
recapture your investment dollars by being flexible enough to handle all your design
goals, be the goal a PCB design, Spice analysis, or FPGA design.
DesignWorks is a multi-platform, intuitive schematic development environment. You can now
purchase DesignWorks for Microsoft Windows (95/98/NT) or the
Macintosh OS. Better yet, you can work in a mixed mode environment; schematics and
libraries are usable on either platform without translation. This is finally the answer to
a split work environment, be the split across the office, between work and home, or across
the country.
Product Description
DesignWorks is a multi-page, hierarchical schematic capture
editor. Work from the top/down, bottom/up, or the middle/out. DesignWorks is not going to
limit you. Instead it's going to ease you along your path. Tired of manually
cross-referencing page connectors on the schematic? DesignWorks does it for you. Not in a
batch process, but interactively. You move a page connector and all cross-references are
updated now. Don't like having to worry about port connectors between hierarchy
levels? Simple, just double click on a symbol without a sub-circuit and DesignWorks
creates a sub-circuit for you with all port connectors correctly positioned.
Need special information in your schematics or need to move that data to other systems?
DesignWorks doesn't force you to write programs to glue the pieces of your system
together. DesignWorks allows you to associate additional information ( called attributes )
with your schematic. Not just a few kinds or pieces. As many different kinds and pieces as
you want. You decide on the attribute names, not us. No need to remember the your special
production code is stored in Field7. Instead create a attribute called ProductionCode.
In addition feel free to qualify your ProductionCode. Tell us if it's valid in
Devices, Signals, Pins, and/or as a overall Design attribute. Don't stop !!! Tell
DesignWorks if the attribute is visible by default, should it be displayed grouped with
the reference designator, auto-placed, or located at a default location. Go further and
say that it has a maximum length, that it should be rotate when the object its associated
with is rotated, better yet provide a list of default values to choose from. The choice is
yours.
Great, you've associated your own special data with the schematic. Now What? Well,
DesignWorks is again the only product you want. You need to extract that data, into a
netlist, a custom Bill of Materials, or maybe production just called and they want a list
of all the components in some format nobody has every hear of. Custom output is want the
DesignWorks Report Generator was made for. It also pays the bills by producing
netlists to interface with all the common back-end environments, be they PCB, Spice, or
whatever. The Report Generator's trick is that it is script based. The scripts ( called
report forms ) indicate what connectivity and attribute data to extract from your design,
how to sort it, how to merge it, and finally how to format it for output. To make your
life easy, we provide scripts for all the standard systems you may be interfacing with.
Great. Let me at the demo.
I want to try it now!
