CircuitSpaceTM 2.1 is a design automation tool for PCB component placement. Uses patented auto-clustering, intelligent design reuse and replicated layout. Reportedly shortens design cycle timelines by weeks and improves communication between design teams. Other features are said to include AutoClustering; concurrent layout development project-wide; template generation for global library use across divisions; template usage with and without etch; automated layout reference designator propagation; advanced sustaining engineering and ECO process, and automated change report between layout designs.
