Engineering Knowledge Base and Design Checklist

CR-8000 Circuit DR Navi helps design teams consolidate engineering expertise and PCB layout best practices into a central database integrated with the design process.

Users can attach documents, images, videos, URLs and more to ease communication of design instructions.

During logical circuit design, engineers access a standard set of requirements or create project-specific instructions to create a structured checklist, driving design guidelines across the PCB design flow.

Each check item is automatically or interactively associated to objects on the schematic. The checklist can be used by PCB designers to guide and confirm that the board layout meets the correct design specifications.

During the design review process, Circuit DR Navi is used by design teams to communicate feedback and includes support for cross-probing with Design Gateway, Design Force, Board Viewer Advance and other CR-8000 tools to improve collaboration.

As new experiences are acquired during PCB layout, new requirements can be easily imported within Circuit DR Navi’s engineering knowledge base.
