The Circuit Creator system includes the best selling Logic CreatorT Schematic Design and Capture software.
This software provides facilities for full hierarchical schematic creation, and editing, while providing on-line, on-demand context-sensitive help.
Users can design up to "E" size schematics in a single file, with additional sheets linked using hierarchical designs.
The most important module of Circuit CreatorT is Board CreatorT - printed circuit board design software.
Board CreatorT can interactively and automatically check for errors and design rules while editing.
It allows interactive component placement, support for blind and buried vias, as well as automatic footprint mirroring for surface mount device support.
According to Raj Shah, "Logic Creator provides a full design rule and error checking environment, it helps engineers design out errors, thus providing an essential tool for Quality-By-Design.
Go directly from schematic design to error-free PCB artwork or easily import an existing design into Circuit CreatorT", said Mr Shah.
The software includes important features that are available only in high-end products.
A user-expandable symbol library of over 25,000 components that allows user-defined symbols to be added easily.
Object-oriented parts and symbols with DeMorgan equivalents, rotation and mirroring of parts from a single definition.
Symbols are vector based allowing more flexibility.
Automatic rerouting of connections of moved symbols makes Schematic routing very easy.
True bezier curves instead of curved lines makes Logic CreatorT very flexible to use.
Line widths and colors may be assigned to specific schematic elements for improved clarity and understanding.
Circuit CreatorT software includes additional features: copper pouring, support for 32 inch by 32 inch large board size, and up to 256 multi-layer board designs.
The Board CreatorT has a built in one-click Gerber and Laser Photo plot output feature.
The software supports RS274D and RS274X Gerber file formats.
It also allows the user to view photoplot files.
