Cadstar Express is a free web download of Zuken's industry-standard PCB design solution, Cadstar 5.0.
Each library file links the Cadstar schematic symbol to the PCB footprint, including all mapping files.
Gate and pin-swap information is also provided so that users can make immediate use of the library information without needing to modify it.
URLs for the manufacturers' websites are also shown.
Full compatibility is guaranteed because the parts have been created using manufacturers' data to the IPC Standard.
Cadstar General Manager, Mark Thompson, commented: "Enabling our customers to cut design time and cost not only involves improving Cadstar as a design solution, it requires us to look at every aspect of the design process and review the support services that we offer too.
Anything that reduces the amount of window swapping and number of mouse clicks needed to complete a design has significant impact on time to market.
This online library is, we believe, by the far the most comprehensive available for a PC-based board design solution and it will deliver substantial time and cost savings for Cadstar customers worldwide".
The library is at www.cadstarworld.com/libraries. Request a free brochure from Zuken ...
