CADSTAR Gives You Complex System Design Capabilities At Prices You Can Afford.
It's easy to integrate CADSTAR into your current environment and to preserve your design legacy as well. The easy to use, out of the box CADSTAR solution is available in several packages to meet your varied design needs.

CADSTAR Makes Designing Easy

Technology-Driven
CADSTAR has been developed to take full advantage of the Windows operating system and its inherent benefits, such as the multiple document interface (MDI), object linking and embedding (OLE) and the intuitive Windows graphical user interface (GUI). This combination results in a CAD system which is easy to learn and use, and which is consistent with other complimentary applications.

Windows Compliant
CADSTAR has been designed with the Microsoft Windows standard in mind at all times. Almost every graphic card and Windows output device is supported. Within the operating system is a true Windows 32-bit program, ensuring a complete forward thinking process.

Personalized Working Environment
Throughout CADSTAR, user defined function keys and user configurable tool bars dramatically increase the user speed and allow the creation of a personalized working environment. Macros further automate repetitive tasks, and context sensitive menus simplify command choices - all focused to save you time and to enable faster time-to-market.

By setting your own custom keys and menus you can set up the functions or series of functions you use most - all with a single click. You won't have to plow through layers of menus; everything's available, right where you want it.

Multiple Document Interface (MDI)
Because CADSTAR uses the Microsoft multiple document interface (MDI), all of your design editor applications run under one program and one consistent interface. Schematic capture, PCB layout, EMC analysis signal integrity and library symbol creation and management can all be run together within the same application.
