Welcome to NX PCB Exchange Connect
The NX PCB Exchange Connect web application provides designers using mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) and electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) software with dynamic views of the printed circuit board (PCB) design state.
- Preview PCB design file data to access key PCB parameters.
- Compare and validate the changes in two designs or two design revisions.
- Animate the design history in a 2D viewer.
- Review the PCB design history to make informed design changes and enhance collaboration.
This web application helps designers and analysts preview design files before importing them to an ECAD or MCAD software such as NX, which lets them validate the data and optimize the import process. Additionally other shareholders, such as managers and engineers, can easily view designs at their current stages. This visually enhanced PCB validation process eliminates tedious work for design engineers, thereby reducing the design time before manufacturing. Using the interactive design history tables, product managers can highlight key metrics like the number of design exchanges, design timeline, or frequent component changes to identify poor collaboration areas. This data helps identify areas for improvement in the design and collaboration process.
