Migration Program

In this video, you will learn about the advanced technologies from schematic design, to layout, to manufacturing, cloud-based collaboration, supply chain integration, PartQuest Portal, and beyond that will both save you design time and ensure first-pass PCB design success. 5:30

Migration Technology

This video will give you a quick overview of some of the unique technologies available in PADS Professional that will accelerate your PCB design flow. From Connect, the new cloud-connected collaboration hub that brings you and your stakeholders together to design-centric capabilities for RF, Rigid-flex, routing automation and beyond you’ll discover how PADS Professional can tackle today’s and tomorrows challenges in electronics design. 6:47

Migration Existing PADS Classic Library & Project Data

The biggest question companies ask themselves when moving to a new design tool flow is “Should I translate my symbol and component libraries?” To assist you with the library translation decision, we’ve compiled a set of questions to guide you through the decision-making process. 2:25
