OrCAD X is an AI-enabled electronic design automation platform for small and medium-sized businesses making medium-complexity boards. It combines schematic capture, PCB layout and circuit simulation across web and Windows deployments. Layout tools include interactive and automatic routing, design-rule checks, constraint-driven tools, 3D viewing and design-for-manufacturing checks. Integrated PSpice handles analog and mixed-signal simulation with Monte Carlo, worst-case and sensitivity analyses. Capture connects to Ultra Librarian, SamacSys and SnapMagic for symbols and footprints. ECAD/MCAD collaboration supports SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Siemens NX, Autodesk Fusion and PTC Creo. Professional and Professional Plus add Live BOM information on lifecycle, availability, inventory, lead time, alternatives and pricing. Standard, Professional and Professional Plus are yearly single-user licenses with region-dependent pricing. The commercial Professional Plus trial lasts 30 days, requires no payment details and provides unrestricted access to that tier.
