Cimmetry's Autovue to Support Cadence, Mentor and Other EDA Formats
October 23 2002 - Cimmetry Systems Inc, the global leader in Visualization and
Collaboration solutions for the A/E/C, Engineering, Manufacturing and
Electronics markets today announced that upcoming AutoVue 17 will support
Cadence Allegro and Mentor Board Station PCB design and schematics documents as
well as other EDA formats.
AutoVue allows users to view and markup/redline documents in more than 200
different native formats from a common UI. Thus users can access, review and
provide feedback on product data, regardless of format, without requiring the
authoring applications. AutoVue is available as a thick-client desktop install
and as a thin-client, server based solution. With the thin-client version of
AutoVue, users can view and collaborate on remotely located documents over any
intranet, extranet or the Internet, using only a Web browser.
"Cimmetry Systems has provided the leading Visualization and Collaboration
solutions to the MCAD and Engineering markets for some time now" said Pam
Petropoulos, Marketing Coordinator at Cimmetry Systems Inc. "With our support
for EDA design formats, we bring that expertise to the Electronics community.
Our AutoVue technology helps collapse design cycles and reduce time-to-market to
provide significant competitive advantage and return on investment."
AutoVue 17 supports an extensive list of electronic CAD and PCB design formats
ranging from schematic capture documents to the actual native design & layout
formats to the fabrication output formats. Formats include: Cadence Allegro,
Allegro IPF, Mentor Board Station, Mentor Neutral, Barco DPF, Orcad Capture,
Orcad Layout, P-CAD Schematic, P-CAD Layout, EDIF, IDF, PDIF PCB, PDIF
Schematics, Gerber, ODB++, GenCAM and more.
Now all stakeholders within and outside an organization can access PCB schematic
and design data and provide feedback at all stages of the design process.
Customers, engineers, suppliers, sub-contractors and manufacturers can
collaborate on schematics & PCBs before they go to fabrication. This results in
improved product quality, reduced time-to-market, fewer costly errors and
provides a substantial ROI.
Hundreds of other native formats are also supported, such as 3D CAD parts &
assemblies, 2D CAD drawings, scanned & raster documents, vector files, office
documents and graphics, providing you with an easy, fast, single point of access
to your data.
Integrations with major document management, PLM and ERP systems provide
workflow control and management of markup/redline files. Available integrations
include: Agile, Documentum, FileNET, Hummingbird, Lotus Notes, MatrixOne, Open
Text, SmarTeam, Windchill and more. AutoVue's open API allows for ease of
integration with any other host systems as well as simplifying any customization
required.
