Intercept's Design Automation product suite enables corporations to automate seamless flows for design verification, drawing generation, and manufacturing output packages. Intercept's multi-faceted Design Automation products unite powerful innovations in global design technology to provide a flexible strategy for cycle time and cost reduction. All products are supported on Linux, Solaris, and Windows platforms.

DesignX

Compare library and design changes from database to library or between databases to ensure archived design integrity and minimize ECO mistakes. Checks include comparing design geometries to current library geometries, comparing geometries in one design to geometries in another, viewing changes to component information (i.e. added, deleted, moved instances) and connectivity changes (i.e. changes to nets, routing, vias and copper areas). Discrepancies are displayed directly in geometries and on the board part, and can be written to a report file.

DrawingX

DrawingX allows users to automatically generate complex assembly, fabrication and library part drawings according to a defined standard. DrawingX provides an editing environment that may be used to floorplan drawing templates and provides a comprehensive palette of common features, such as board stackup diagram, automated dimensioning controls, and design notes, that are automatically generated by the system during drawing creation. <go

QCX

QCX provides a method for encapsulating complex verification processes to ensure DRCs, ERCs and MRCs are performed completely and according to manufacturing requirements at both the schematic and layout levels. <go

ReleaseX

ReleaseX allows users to automatically create all manufacturing files required for each vendor to which product data is supplied. ReleaseX enables businesses to setup vendor profiles that include contact information, pack and ship instructions, and a complete palette of design files that may be produced from Pantheon. The shipping instructions support email, network copy, or FTP instructions for auto-release of design files to the target vendor or PDM system.
