XJBoardExplorer
XJBoardExplorer is the fast, simple way to view, share and explore your circuit board designs. Whether you are in design, production or service, it provides a single environment to view schematics, layouts and netlists side by side.
With an intuitive interface and a focus on collaboration, XJBoardExplorer helps engineers quickly locate, understand and resolve issues in complex projects – without attaching to hardware.
Key benefits
Easy to use
Navigate seamlessly between netlist, ODB++ and PDF schematic
Collaborative
Share projects securely between design, production and service teams.
Fast
Quickly search and locate components, pins and nets.
Adaptable
Set up projects using formats compatible with all major EDA tools.
Secure
Retain control with unextractable data.
Scalable
Supports board variants and multi-board projects.
Learn in minutes
Navigate around your designs by typing a net name or device ID into the search or by right clicking a device to move between netlist, layout or schematic viewer.
Layout viewer can highlight nets when selected and different layers can be shown or hidden allowing you to easily explore component connections without needing the original design software.
Simplify collaboration
XJBoardExplorer makes it easy to share board data securely with colleagues or external partners, while unextractable project data ensures security.
Powerful import
You can import board data including schematic PDFs, ODB++ layout data and Excel/CSV BOMs, so you can open schematics and board layouts directly from common design outputs without any additional software.
Work at any scale
Tackle projects of any size from small prototype modules to complex multi-board designs with deep hierarchical schematics.
XJDeveloper projects with variants are also supported, letting you include alternative component options.
