​

​

An interactive routing environment, SPECCTRA for OrCAD features realtime interactive trace pushing and shoving aids to make quick manual edits to traces. An interactive placement environment with extensive floorplanning functionality and complete component placement features eliminates the need to switch applications to make placement changes to optimize routing. By using the auto-interactive floorplanning and placement capability designers can improve routing quality and productivity, which are directly related to component placement. The autorouter’s extensive rule set can control a wide range of constraints from default board-level rules to rules by net /net class and regions.

• Integrated with OrCAD PCB Editor.
• Performs automatic wiring of six signal layers simultaneously.
