CADSTAR Exchange is the start of new on line initiatives designed to assist CADSTAR customers.
CADSTAR is supplied with an extensive library of over 14500 Parts and 500 schematic symbols, but if this is not enough customers have access to over 230,000 parts available for download from LinkZ, the Zuken Customer Service website.
Sample CADSTAR Exchange - Datasheet
An example of the features and functionality of CADSTAR Exchange is available with CADSTAR Express (CADSTAR's free PCB Design Software). It includes some samples from certain Manufacturers Libraries listed below.
NOTE: This is not the full library of components but a sample to illustrate the benefits of CADSTAR Exchange. It does not contain the downloadable zip files containing Schematic symbols, PCB footprint and part library information which Exchange users are able to add to their CADSTAR library.
