If you have used SOLIDWORKS PCB, you already know of the vast array of mechanical design tools and collaboration available from SOLIDWORKS 3D, but where do we go from there? We have ensured form, fit and function of our board to it’s mechanical enclosure, but what’s next? The answer is simple, anything we want! With…
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design solutions were added to SOLIDWORKS two generations ago as a result of a partnership between DS SolidWorks and Altium. The partnership yielded two products: SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector, which connects Altium Designer to SOLIDWORKS. SOLIDWORKS PCB, which was developed by the combined efforts of DS SolidWorks and Altium. This product directly…
As a pioneering technology for E-CAD and M-CAD design, the development team at SOLIDWORKS has done a fantastic job with SOLIDWORKS PCB 2018. We have listed a few of the changes that take this product to a new level as a productivity tool. Hardware management: The improvements to SOLIDWORKS PCB 2018 include a better way…
As we advance into a technology driven future it has become more of a necessity for all systems to be connected and to have information bidirectionally accessible. In SOLIDWORKS PCB 2018, it is now possible to establish connections to databases outside of the SOLIDWORKS environment such as ERP systems, Purchasing systems or company grown data systems….
