CADSTAR placement planner from Zuken to bridge engineer and PCB designer

Zuken announces CADSTAR Placement Planner, which helps electronic engineers communicate their intent and provide guidance to the PCB designer more effectively, without time-consuming iterations that can cause unnecessary delays. Zuken says it has developed Placement Planner, an add-on to CADSTAR Schematics, as a price-competitive solution in response to engineers who do not require full CADSTAR functionality.

Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems (UK) has reported that Placement Planner is delivering "a simple, streamlined solution which is helping its design engineers cut out some of the previously time-consuming iterations in board design and consolidate the number of tools being used".
