DesignAdvance Systems, Inc., has announced the release of CircuitProbe, which enables bi-directional communication, through IPC, between layout and a PDF of the schematic.

The company claims that the tool gives designers and engineers the ability to select design elements in either Cadence Allegro Viewer environment in or a PDF of the schematic, and have the corresponding design elements selected in the other application.

"As a current DesignAdvance customer, we see the combined solution ... adding value throughout our entire PCB design cycle," stated Greg Bodi, of NVIDIA Corporation.
