Bi-directional ECAD-MCAD Design
Work together with your mechanical team and share design revisions to ensure your board fits right the first time.
There’s no more error-prone file exchange between ECAD and MCAD tools. Quickly push and pull changes between Altium Designer and your mechanical environment with the MCAD CoDesigner Plug-in and data exchange powered by Altium 365.
Works with SOLIDWORKS®, PTC Creo® Parametric™, Autodesk Inventor®, and Autodesk Fusion 360®.
Advanced Copper Geometry in MCAD
Give your mechanical designer all the data they need to perform detailed mechanical checks or FEA with advanced geometry support for extruded copper and via transfers.
ECAD-MCAD Rigid-Flex Synchronization
Design your electronics to meet the needs of today’s portable and flexible devices with rigid-flex support. Available now for SOLIDWORKS® and PTC Creo® Parametric™.
ECAD-MCAD Native Component Linkage
Save time on your PCB layout by placing the key components directly in an MCAD environment with complete visibility for enclosure constraints.
Components placed in an MCAD tool are automatically synchronized with your ECAD components to simplify your design process.
Available now for SOLIDWORKS®, PTC Creo® Parametric™, Autodesk Inventor®.
