Circuits Assembly Online Magazine - Electronics Workbench Multicap 8 Adds Schematic Capture

With its built-in intelligence, Multicap 8 reduces schematic creation time and adds support for even more complex designs.

Modeless operation and auto-connect passives save time and increase flexibility, while graphical feedback ensures that all connections are made as intended. Wiring functionality further reduces design time - for example, simply touching a component's pin(s) to a wire or other component automatically creates a connection. Tool-tip style circuit annotations help to capture and share design notes. Variant Support facilitates the variable manufacturing of a single design.

Other enhancements include Bus Support for advanced designs and support for Hierarchical Designs. Bus Vector Connect and Bus Merge functions save significant time. Additional bus enhancements include a new off-page, hierarchical and sub-circuit bus connectors capability with an improved ERC. Component browser enhancements make finding parts even faster. Circuits can be annotated with visual error makers and "Zoom to Error" feature helps to capture errors before they become design problems.
