AutoTRAX DEX

AutoTRAX DEX is a MS-Windows XP/MS-Windows Vista 7/8/10 schematic design and PCB layout program with built-in Spice simulator and 3D part and board visualization.

Unlike other EDA program, AutoTRAX DEX integrated all of the schematic and PCB design into a single XML project file. It uses parametric parts which define the parts schematic symbols, PCB footprint and 3D package models using numeric parameters. This allow a simple parametric model to be quickly changed to represent an of a family of similar parts, e.g. DIP and BGAs.

AutoTRAX Design Express (DEX) has now replaced AutoTRAX EDA. It is based on Microsoft .NET 4 and has both a Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010 interface as well as a classic Dropdown menu with toolbars.

AutoTRAX DEX uses the Microsoft Windows platform and runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. The file format is open and viewable with any text editor as it is XML based, and the XML schema is fully documented.
