NDB Writer - Printed circuit design CAD data conversion software

  • It is a tool which changes a CAD Data into the NDB file which can read the gratis viewer tool
    NDB LightViewer
    The effect by cooperation (collaboration) is offered in a design review, and manufacture support and various scenes.

Summary

PartsSaverF'z+ is a data management system which has a Registration of the Parts library Information created by printed circuit design, and a search service, and it unites with all Parts library management environment by various CAD-interface functions.

Design data's safety serious consideration

Since the changed NDB file is an original format, even if it should cross to the 3rd person's hand, there are neither appropriation nor worries about secondary elaboration.

NDB conversion tool for printed circuit design data (NDB Writer for PCB)

Even if this system does not have CAD, it is a tool which changes a CAD data into the NDB data which can be read with a "NDB LightViewer printed circuit design data viewer" for the purpose of perusing substrate design data by a check of drawing etc.

NDB conversion tool for logic circuit design data (NDB Writer for Schematic)

Even if this system does not have CAD, it is a tool which changes a CAD Data into the NDB Data which can be loaded by "NDB_Schematic LighViewer" for the purpose of perusing a circuitry Data.

*: A conversion Time changes with creation states of a Data.

Case

Case1

Purpose Check-of-drawing increase in efficiency after a design maker / board maker's design
Contents Printed circuit design is completed and the time delay by a plot output or dispatch processing is canceled at the time of a primary check of drawing.
Large shortening of the check-of-drawing data creation time was aimed at.

Case2

Purpose Circuit designer's check-of-drawing increase in efficiency
Contents The function for carrying out the check of drawing of the printed circuit design data, such as a function which displays a Layer in piles, was substantial, and it attained large increase in efficiency.

Case3

Purpose As the History tool of design business
Contents When printed circuit design business checked the last contents of a design and estimate, even if there was no CAD, by checking an electronic drawing, it estimated and aimed at improvement in accuracy of a design man day.

Case4

Purpose Increase in efficiency of a mounting design review.
Contents In the stage which the Part position ended, the increase in efficiency by the early detection of a problem and the advance of a plan was attained by distributing an electronic drawing to a mounting section.

Case5

Purpose Check-of-drawing increase in efficiency at the time of change-of-design / revision
Contents By displaying the difference of the last design data and the data after a change at the time of a change of design and revision, the check-of-drawing place was pinpointed and increase in efficiency was attained.
