Seamless Data Management for Your PCB Projects
Collaborate in a Centralized and Version-Controlled Environment
OrCAD X OnCloud allows me to easily collaborate with external contractors and team members to ensure everyone has access to the latest design version at any time.

Synchronized Data Across Teams
Product development is a collaborative process across many engineering teams. However, when multiple versions of the same design exist on yours or a teammate’s local drive, it can lead to data integrity issues. Email becomes the main source of change order communication, removing any chance of audit control, resulting in issues such as lost or missed email communication, duplication of work, and other inefficiencies.
Avoid design missteps with the new OrCAD X PCB design platform by creating a single source of truth. Each designer can access and contribute to one central location, streamlining the workflow and keeping users in the design environment, providing structure, reliability, and traceability required in a team environment. Deployment via cloud infrastructure is easy and allows anyone to access data from anywhere, simplifying design collaboration with both internal and external resources. Help your team collaborate and communicate better so you can quickly complete designs and get ahead of the competition.
OrCAD X OnCloud Advantages
Explore the benefits below to see what you will uncover when you try OrCAD X OnCloud!
Data Protection
Protects your organization and employees from data loss, theft, and breaches.
Reuse
Enables designers the ability to revisit and reuse known good circuitry.
Data Sharing
Data sharing across departments and teams by providing a structured approach to storing and accessing data.
Improved Decision Making
Managed data provides managers with better control, insight, and analysis.
Reduction in Redundancy
Centralized data storage removes individual or localized copies of design and library content.
Accountability
Provides visibility into exactly who made what change, when, and why.
Design Data Management
With cloud-enabled workspaces integrated within OrCAD X Capture, project creation and version control are as simple as a point-and-click. Easily improve data organization and distribution by setting up public and private workspaces. Data conflicts are prevented by using implicit file locking, allowing only one designer to have write permission at a time. Watch the video below to learn more.
Design Collaboration and Review
Streamline the design review process and stop storing your design notes and comments in office-based products or emails. With OrCAD X, you can store each user’s comments within your design using fully integrated graphical and text-based markup. Comments act as tasks that are easy to navigate and can be set to a resolved state once addressed. Watch the video below to learn more.
