We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "MCAD",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Collaborative software is made for EDA integration from
Cimmetry Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "EDA centric product offerings address the specific requirements of printed circuit board design and contract manufacturing".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Distributor for design-automation specialist from
DesignAdvance: "Design automation software specialist appoints distributor for UK, Ireland and Scandinavia".
In November 2006, we covered the news from Altium
concerning its Altium Designer 6.6
- take a look at ECAD software unifies design flows
which says: "The latest release of Altium Designer aims to unify design flows beyond the development of the electronic circuitry in order to achieve greater end-to-end product development efficiency".
Take a look also at the news release from Blue Ridge Numerics, Software accelerates thermal simulations,
as well as Upgrade for EMI analysis from Fluent,
and Harness software links with UGS PLM from Synopsys.
