CADint PCB - The answer to ALL Your PCB needs
The CAD tool for engineering professionals worldwide: CADint PCB gets the job done without getting in your way. Powerful, fast and stable, yet with an ease of use that gets you productive in a hurry.
Schematic capture
Take advantage of the nearly unlimited power of CADint schematic capture.
Work with flat or hierarchical designs with an unlimited number of pages of any size. Signals may be defined as local to a page, common to a page and its parent or global. Pages may be easily copied to generate repeated modules in a design. Transfer critical information, such as component placement requirements or signal routing constraints to PCB as component or net properties.
Schematic capture features

Automated bus member annotation
39 drawing layers including 3 symbol drawing layers, 9 object annotation layers, 16 net-related layers and 11 documentation layers
Support for alphanumeric pin names
Autopackaging and pin assignment
Design rule checking (fanout, no driver or multiple drivers in net..)
Unlimited number of components, nets, nodes, etc. (unless limited by license)
Interfaces
Import schematic designs from CadStar, EDwin, EE Designer, Innoveda, P-Cad, and more.
Import graphics in DXF or Gerber format.
Libraries
Schematic symbol library with 1500 symbols representing more than 10,000 components
Flexible library structure supports generalized component types as well as specific part numbers
Powerful library browser with preview, import, export, etc.
Graphical symbol and library editors
System features

Get the job done with the virutally unlimited power of CADint PCB. Regardless of board size or complexity, CADint is designed with the needs of the layout designer in mind.
Place components and route traces on any grid size. Generate copper pours just the way you want them. Take advantage of CADint's integrated Specctra autorouter interface. And when it has all come together, generate your production files in a single step.
PCB layout features
Practically unlimited board size
Over 100 drawing layers including 32 copper layers, 16 mask layers, 14 hole type layers, 12 net-related layers, 11 documentation layers and more.
Support for through-hole, blind and buried vias.
Global resizing of padstacks across one, several or all symbols.
Pin, gate and component swapping.
Easily change footprints (through-hole, SMT, PLCC, etc) while maintaining netlist integrity.
Automatic renaming of component designators by topology, etc.
Powerful and flexible copper pour generation with:
User definable clearances, outline width, line width, etc.;
Thermal relief pad generation with user definable backoff and connection width;
Solid or cross-hatched pours with user definable line width, spacing and angle;
Automatic removal of unconnected and hanging areas.
On-line clearance check (defined by layer, category, and/or area on board) using definable manufacturing classes.
Electrical connectivity check of ratsnesting, unconnected parts.
Trace length, area, capacitance and line resistance calculations.
Crossprobing of components and nets.
3D viewing of entire PCB or selected objects.
3D clearance check of component packages.
CADint PCB 3D-Viewer feature
Use CADint's 3D Viewer to view your board at any magnification from any angle. View all or selected classes of board elements. Quickly and easily inspect complex routing, buried vias, clearance errors, etc. Take advantage of CADint's 3D package keepout polygons to visualize 3-dimensional component placement constraints.
The 3D viewer supports wireframe, solid and shadowed rendering with true or exaggerated z-scaling. Views may be exported as DXF files or copied to the Windows clipboard for insertion in reports, etc.
View your boards from any angle
