Empowering you to create electronics-based products for a smarter, safer, and more connected world.
DEX is the industry’s only unified electronic design software which gives you an unmatched ability to design and build current and future generation of electronic products.
This is in sharp contrast to the previous generation of software such as Diptrace, Eagle, MultiSim, Orcad, DesignSparks and Proteus which have separate data files for schematics and PCBs – even different applications with different user interfaces.
The design of DEX’s internal data ensures you maintain full electrical integrity with your schematic design.
DEX ensures that your design remains correct throughout with no ‘dangling wires’ or PCB design rule violations.
You can also create your own parts either in-place on your design sheets or using the integrated Part Creator. Again, design integrity is maintained throughout using DEX’s design rule checker.
When you are satisfied with your design, you can then quickly proceed to produce your finished and populated PCB board without leaving the DEX program.
DEX will take your hierarchical design and place the components, with or without your assistance. Next DEX can either autoroute your board or you can use a combination of automatic and manual routing to quickly and reliably complete all electrical wiring.
Now that you have your design finished and routed you can easily produce all Computer Aided Manufacturing files you will need to produce the board, drill the holes, cut its profile, order parts using the Bill of Materials, and place your parts using the pick and place files.
These files can be placed together and forwarded to your board manufacturers, electronically via email.

Unlike software from other EDA developers DEX is not stymied by the limited thinking of the software developers of the last century.
Why do they limit their boards? Who knows?
There are absolutely no limits* to your design in DEX.
As DEX has only 1 license type, unlimited, you get it all*. No immoral Trojan horses to trap you into paying more.
* Excluding Electra which is owned and sold by Konekt
Traditional concepts of an electronics design system haven’t changed much, at least for most EDA vendors. This can be apparent in the way they struggle to meet even the current challenges. The fragmented approach of trying to glue separate solutions together eventually breaks down as more challenges are thrown at them. It’s just unsustainable and difficult to innovate on top of inconsistent design applications that rely on constantly unmatched data exchanges. That’s not how DEX is designed.
DEX has been designed from the ground up as a powerful, single-application electronics development environment that contains all the advanced design tools you’ll need to capture and simulate hardware, design PCBs, collaborate with MCAD, manage your ECAD data and documentation, as well as manage your designs from concept to production. It’s all there in a single, unified design platform.
DEX also unifies your design data, from component models to sub-assemblies. Unlike conventional design systems based on a collection of linked tool applications, the DEX unified platform allows each design application to access and modify a single, centralized model of the design data. That’s one design project; one model of the design data; one development environment, visible to everyone. With this unified and coherent source of design data being available to all the design applications at the platform level, design synchronization and data management becomes a simple process.
DEX’s powerful and easy to use schematic capture enables you to design your printed circuit boards quickly and reliably and be confident that the design will work.
You are guided during the design process with interactive symbols, or to routing of into symbol wires and fully integrated and synchronous PCB design.
Gone are the days of forward and back annotation as there is absolutely no need for such prehistoric ideas, because your design is contained in one project file: changes in a schematic of automatically reflected in your PCB layout and similarly any changes in your PCB layout are instantly reflected in your associated schematics.
You can place real instruments such as oscilloscopes and signal generators directly onto your schematics and you will see the output and input change in real-time.
Not only is it easy to do but it is also fun.
