The Douglas CAD/CAM Professional System
Originally only for Macintosh. Now also available on Windows.
Douglas CAD/CAM is a family of products for the design and
manufacture of printed circuit boards. Running on the Apple
Macintosh or a Windows pc, the entire line is quick, powerful, and easy to learn.
The software, with high resolution graphics and a friendly user interface, provide a high quality engineering workstation that is both very affordable and a pleasure to use.
The Professional System supports multilayer and SMT design capabilities. A very mature, well integrated, and powerful engineering suite, the Douglas Professional System will take you from a rough product concept in your head to finished hardware in your hands quickly, easily, and economically.
Professional quality tools to get your PCB design from concept
to a finished circuit board, with a starting price of only $ 25.00.
The Douglas CAD/CAM Professional System includes:
Professional Layout (with libraries)
AutoRouter
Print
DRC (Design Rule Check) Utility
Gerber-In and Gerber Viewer
Douglas Electronics Inc. also offers CAD/CAM Professional-Plus which includes Gerber File and Drill File Creator programs. The price for Douglas CAD/CAM Professional Plus for Macintosh or for Windows: $ 495.00
We offer the two packages, Professional and Professional Plus, because we want to nearly ‘give away’ our software to those who are coming back to us for manufacturing. For those who choose to use other manufactures, you can purchase Professional Plus, which includes the Gerber File and Drill File Creators you need. The features in the Layout, AutoRouter and other utilities are identical in both packages!
Click on the link below for a list of Professional Layout features and links to output options.
- Professional Layout (printed circuit board layout)
Designing the Board
Professional Layout includes a parts placement
facility for positioning circuit elements on the layout in
preparation for autorouting. SMT and thru-hole component
footprint libraries are provided, and can be
easily modified if need be. Selecting an item from
the parts-list automatically selects the correct
footprint for placement on the layout. It is labeled
by the program to correspond with the original
part name from the DesignWorks program.
Professional Layout is a full-featured printed circuit board CAD/CAM
program capable of designs up to 32" x 3".
An unlimited number of board layers can be created, with full
capability for power and ground planes, soldermasks
and silk-screen nomenclature. Layers can be viewed
on the screen separately or all at once.
Completely user-definable pads and parts, 50
different view sizes, and 0.001" resolution make both
initial layout and subsequent editing quick and easy.
Routing the Board
AutoRouter completes the board connections by
utilizing data generated by the schematic and layout packages.
This Lee-maze router is capable of accommodating large,
complex designs up to 16 layers. All layers are
routed simultaneously, and a multi-pass strategy is used
to ensure efficient routes. One-mil grids and
surface-mounted devices are fully supported. User-specified
costing formulae determine which path the
router will take. Any unroutable connections are both listed
in a text file and displayed graphically on the screen.
Output
Output Utilities The Professional System provides direct output to dot-matrix and LaserWriter printers. In Douglas CAD/CAM Professional Plus are programs for generating Gerber files for photoplotting and Excellon files for generating drill files.
Looking for a complete solution to all of your pcb design requirements? You might want to try using Designworks with your Douglas CAD/CAM Professional System.Click on the "Software & Support Order Form" link below for current pricing.
Creating the Schematic
DesignWorks is a completely interactive package with both schematic entry and digital simulation capabilities.
The gate-level simulation shows live operation on the screen and responds immediately to any connection, input or device
parameter changes. Circuit output can be displayed on simulated output devices, or in the form of a logic analyzer
style timing diagram. Devices can be easily placed and moved with rubberbanding of all connections.
Extensive part libraries are provided in both ANSI and IEEE style symbols, and you can easily create your
own device types using the integrated Device Editor.

Services
Manufacturing Douglas Electronics provides a full range of PCB manufacturing services direct from Professional Layout files. The user generates a quote request by providing board specifications using the supplied JobQuote program, then board manufacture, or gerber and drill file generation, are all only an email away.
