Digitally-Connected ECAD + PLM:
Your Key to Digital Transformation
this digitally-connected solution can do for you.
Create Project
Optimize existing tools and processes with a digital connection between ECAD and PLM that ensures project consistency and eliminates manual work.
Schematic Capture
Increase efficiency with a digital connection throughout the part selection process that enables easy access to real-time, accurate part availability information to make informed part decisions.
Part Request
Mitigate risk and ensure quality by enabling seamless access to reliable supply chain information and by integrating resources and processes through a fully optimized and configured workflow.
PCB Design With MCAD Collaboration
Optimize resources and ensure data integrity with a continuous digital connection and real-time collaboration between your ECAD and MCAD teams that eliminates error-prone methods of communication and ensures alignment at all times.
Design Review
Accelerate time to market and ensure quality of results with a digitally-managed design review workflow that enables real-time communication, organization-wide collaboration, and review process automation.
Design Release and Publish to PLM
Increase profitability and ensure full product integrity by integrating a full digital thread that improves productivity and business process efficiency including optimizing resources, implementing product lifecycle management, and providing a single source of truth for all product data.
Create Project
Begin a new project with ease and consistency by utilizing a project creation workflow that generates a full design project data structure in both the Altium softwear and Arena, ensuring new design templates are automatically populated with PLM-generated part numbers and project parameters.
Schematic Capture
Quickly and easily access and compare components with part searches based on parametric data, package style and value, part categorization by Type and SubType, and real-time visibility into part availability and lifecycle information.
Part Request
Request new parts with ease and efficiency by utilizing a “Part Request” workflow that enables you to automatically initiate the request process, electronically communicate with the librarian, and receive automated notifications when the part is ready for use.
PCB Design With MCAD Collaboration
Ensure alignment between ECAD and MCAD with a continuous digital connection that enables the push and pull of design data in real-time and the visualization of any design changes in 3D - all without leaving your native design environment.

Schematic Capture
Complete your PCB design with confidence knowing that validated parts were selected by engineering using real-time availability and lifecycle information.
Part Request
Mitigate costly and time-intensive rework by ensuring validated parts were selected following company standard and using real-time availability and lifecycle information.
PCB Design With MCAD Collaboration
Continue to manage your MCAD part and assembly data as you do today, without interruption to your current 3D part and product management processes.
Create Project
Ensure ECAD and PLM, as well as all extended team members, are notified and completely in sync when a new project is created via the “Create Project” workflow which automatically synchronizes the project data structure and PLM numbers with the Altium software, ensuring immediate population on the project template files.
Schematic Capture
Ensure all parts meet company, vendor and parametric standards through the ability to synchronize part metadata in PLM with the associated parts in the Altium software.
Part Request
Ensure new parts and part data are always aligned between PLM and the Altium software through the on-demand or automated part synchronization process.
