Collaboration between mechanical designers (using MCAD tools) and PCB designers (using ECAD tools) is becoming a priority for many product development teams. Allowing the PCB designer and mechanical designers to view layouts, suggest and approve/reject changes, and view this information on their own tool is a large step forward in advancing this collaboration, with the ultimate goals being shorter design time with fewer re-spins. And, that makes for a healthy bottom line.
