Zuken's 2024 release of its eCADSTAR PCB design system includes a number of improvements ranging from enhanced design reuse, simplified revision tracking and more robust schematic design.

Introduces a comprehensive design comparison capability that allows designers to easily identify differences between two PCB or schematic designs, and shape comparison tool aids in reverse engineering efforts by highlighting discrepancies in copper and routing patterns. Also includes new "Copy Complete Part" feature that allows designers to transfer a component, along with its comprehensive set of data including PCB footprint, schematic symbol, padstacks, and 3-D model, from a customer-specific or prototype library to a central library directly to a customer-specific library in a single action. Schematic updates include support for variant text, optimized drawing of nets and buses, and the introduction of new Design Rule Checks (DRCs) to help identify potential problems early on and streamline the design process, reduce overall design time, and minimize the need for later revisions.
