MAIN CAPABILITIES
View Hundreds of Document Types
Open, view and markup a wide array of document types, including EDA PCB layouts & schematics, 3D/2D CAD, Office, PDF and graphics, without requiring the authoring applications.
Markups and Comments
Make it easy to manage and track comments and feedback from all reviewers with AutoVue markup entities.
Create an Electro-Mechanical Digital Mockup (DMU)
Combine native 3D parts - from disparate 3D CAD systems - and EDA designs into a single digital assembly to easily create virtual prototypes, check for interference and validate design integrity.
Advanced Printing
Save time by automating the printing process, batch print files, customise print settings and save printing configurations.
MCAD CAPABILITIES
Perform Precise Measurements
Speed up design reviews by performing precise measurements on 3D and 2D designs, including mass properties, distance, areas, angles, etc.
Compare Designs
Compare 3D assemblies to determine what parts have been added, removed or changed. This unique AutoVue feature goes beyond a graphical comparison and includes the ability to detect changes to non-graphical attributes at the part or assembly level. AutoVue also offers the possibility to graphically compare 2D files.
Create Exploded Views
Explode complex 3D assemblies to get to the component level faster and create clear illustrations for control documents, such as assembly and maintenance instructions.
Section 3D Models
Cross-section assemblies to draw attention to internal structures and assembly relationships or measure dimensions within individual parts.
View 2D Modes and Drafts of Models
Quickly access the 2D drafts associated with your 3D models.
Perform 3D Entity Search
Search and filter for parts in a 3D assembly based on a variety of native file attributes to quickly find the information you need. Share PMI, GD&T and FTA data Access PMI, GD&T and FTA, data and reliably convey product design information directly to the shop floor, manufacturing, quality and engineering departments, decreasing the time required to resolve design issues, and avoiding design and fabrication errors.
EDA CAPABILITIES
Access the Full Embedded Intelligence in a PCB
Access the embedded intelligence in a PCB with attribute querying for Traces, Nets, components and Geometry Library Objects.
Easy Layer Navigation & Control
Turn on and off physical layers and entity types associated with each layer, and bring layers to the top with a simple click of the mouse. Access layer sets (views) as predefined in the authoring application or define your own.
Perform Precise Measurements
Speed up design reviews by precisely measuring to the endpoint / midpoint of a line, the intersection of two nets, the center of a circle, or on any pin / via / symbol origin. Use the Minimum Distance tool to measure the proximity of nets, pins and pads to one another from edge of net or components.
Cross Probe between a PCB Layout, its Related Schematics or 3D PCB
Select a net or component in a Schematic and it is instantaneously located and highlighted in the Layout or vice versa. Easily find all occurrences of a particular component or net and navigate between them, should they be present on multiple sheets of a schematic. In addition, AutoVue offers an automatic mode that intelligently determines the appropriate view (layout, schematic, 3D model) for the cross probe target.
Validate PCB Design Integrity
Test for manufacturability or design violations by setting multiple tolerances/ constraints, and share this information with team members to shorten the overall design cycle and accelerate production.
Instantly See Entity Properties
Access important entity information without having to repeatedly drill down into an entity's details. With AutoVue's tooltips, entity properties are instantly displayed by hovering the mouse over a specific element of a schematic or PCB layout.
Search for EDA Element
Easily search for multiple Components, Nets, Pins, Vias, Devices or Parts based on a variety of attributes, keywords, and values.
