Printed Circuit Board and Schematic Design Compare Software for OrCAD, Allegro, Mentor and other EDA Tools Now Available in Switzerland

cadalist-enterprises, LLC has announced the appointment of Logmatic AG of Niederrohrdorf, Switzerland to sell and support the DOCTAR design and netlist compare software in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

The DOCTAR software automates the process of checking changes to design schematics and layouts, which many companies still do manually or not at all. DOCTAR saves time and prevents unintended changes from slipping through to manufacturing, where changes are more expensive in terms of scrapped or reworked boards, fixture reworks, and missed schedules.   

"Logmatics is a highly-respected EDA firm with great technical expertise and are well known within the Swiss design community." says Matt Van Wagner, Director of Sales and Marketing for cadalist-enterprises. "We are extremely pleased Logmatics will represent our tools to their important customers."

"Doctar will increase the productivity of our customers since unintended changes in their designs will be prevented. Doctar identifies potential problems and makes fixture rework unnecessary resulting in a shorter design cycle and higher quality of the design." says Peter Wannenmacher, Vice President of marketing for Logmatic AG.

DOCTAR compares schematic, netlist or layout files, to report what's changed such as pin connectivity; components moved, renamed, rotated, added or deleted; tolerances, values, net-routed etch lengths and testpoints moved, added, deleted, or reprogrammed.

The DOCTAR change reports are used by schematic and layout engineers, test and manufacturing engineers, hardware project managers and ECO documentation specialists for design reviews, documentation, and validating changes made by outside layout service bureaus. DOCTAR is being used at hundreds of companies worldwide including Alcatel, Intel, Motorola, Cisco, Thales, Voltaire, and others.

DOCTAR works with design files from Allegro, Cadence, GenCAD, Mentor, Orcad, P-CAD, PADS, PowerPCB, and Viewlogic. Reports are generated in HTML and Excel formats with high-level summaries and detailed reporting to component/net/testpoint levels. DOCTAR software runs under Windows 2000/XP operating systems.

cadalist-enterprises, LLC provides software and services for managing Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design data from design through manufacturing.

Logmatic AG was founded in 1987. The company is the exclusive distributor in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein for leading American EDA companies. Logmatic has always been committed to provide the best products available on the market together with excellent service and support. This is vital for engineers to streamline their design processes and shorten time-to-market of new products.
