Start with the news release
Cadence printed circuit board has new features from
Cadence Design Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Cadence Design Systems has released its Cadence Allegro and OrCAD printed circuit board (PCB) software with a range of new features. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Zuken upgrades CR-5000 Board Designer from
Zuken: "Zuken has introduced version 12 of the CR-5000 Board Designer, a PCB layout, placement and routing solution.".
In January 2009, we covered the news from Altium
- take a look at Altium updates Altium Designer software
which says: "Altium has added a file importer for CADstar design-files to the latest version of the Altium Designer electronics design software. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Zuken, Design tool eases PCB development,
as well as Import tools help designers to evolve from Altium,
and Unified electronics design embraces MCAD from Altium.
