Easy-PC
for Windows
 Integrated Circuit Capture and PCB Design
Another reason for the remarkable enthusiasm for Easy-PC is the Number One Systems commitment to continual development and expansion of the product. Every year we offer our existing much valued customers a new version of the product at a reasonable upgrade price, including a package of new features and enhancements. Many of these are new developments based on feedback from the many thousands of customers using Easy-PC on a daily basis.
Thus we ensure our customer’s investment in software design tools are kept up-to-date and abreast of changes in technology, just one of the reasons that our customers keep coming back year after year.
Overview
Number One Systems' commitment to the future
Easy-PC offers truly astounding price/performance in PCB design, a professional level layout product available at computer store prices! Easy-PC brings you features normally found in the world's most expensive PCB design systems. Just take a look at the full datasheet and you'll see what terrific value you get with Easy-PC!
Easy-PC comes complete with schematic capture fully integrated with PCB layout, using a true connective database - not a net-list transfer as with some systems. You might like to download the trial version and explore more of the key features for yourself. Here are just some of the reasons so many people are buying Easy-PC.
Features
World-beating value
Delivering performance in Schematic Capture, Mixed-Mode
Spice Simulation and PCB Layout, normally associated with products
at ten or even twenty times the price, Easy-PC rightly deserves the
accolade "World-beating".
Professional software at an affordable price
Easy-PC for Windows has been created by a team of software professionals
with some 150 man years experience in development of leading-edge Electronic
Design Automation solutions. The team has rewritten the rule book for
EDA tools designed for low to high complexity PCB layouts. Easy-PC is
packed with timesaving features to make the task of PCB design and layout
so much quicker and more pleasureable.
Simple to learn and understand, yet packed with powerful features
Easy-PC was designed to be quite simple to learn so that you, the customer,
are productive within a few hours of practice with the product. Frequently,
new customers report they are producing their first board within a few
days - or even hours - of installing the software - it really is that
simple and intuitive!
Connective Datastructure
With a truly connective datastructure, Easy-PC is electrically correct
at all times. Electrical integrity is maintained throughout the design
process, from Schematic to PCB design editors, your design is always
in-sync. Forward and backward annotation ensures there are no human errors
introduced at any stage.
Take a look at Easy-PC For Windows - we are sure you will be impressed
Just a glance at the following pages will show immediately the extensive
range of capability within this exciting product. We hope to include
you as a much valued customer in the near future.
Add-ons
Libraries
Easy-PC is provided with component libraries and symbols plus graphical
tools to create them, but when time is a factor, you can also purchase
ready-made libraries from Number One Systems. Three libraries are available:
• Microcontroller library - Over 1,500 popular micro controller components.
• Pro-library - Over 14,500 popular components with associated Schematic
symbols and PCB footprints.
• IPC SM library - Over 1250 components and PCB footprints created to
the IPC Council's SM standard.
Gerber Import
Two levels of Gerber import are available: Intelligent Gerber Import
to rebuild your designs from Gerber files and a Gerber viewer for simply
reading and viewing Gerber files before manufacture. More details...
Autorouters
Two levels of autorouter are available for Easy-PC; Easy-Router is supplied
as an entry-level autorouter with Easy-PC and will handle basic designs.
The Pro-Router is a sophisticated, high performance router which will
handle dense, multi-layer fine line designs. More details...
IDF Export
For mechanical CAD (MCAD) packages which don't import the DXF format
(Pro-Engineer or SolidWorks for example), export your design in IDF format. More details...
GenCAD Export
For mechanical CAD (MCAD) packages or manufacturing front-end software, export your design in GenCAD format. More details...
Specctra Router Export
If you already own the Specctra autorouter, interface to it using the
DSN Export and Import Interface. Export your design in DSN format and
run Specctra, route it and return the routed results in SES format back
into Easy-PC. This interface is integrated and seamless, making life
easier for you and allowing you to make best use of your existing investment.
