smARTWORK. The first low-cost PCB layout package for the IBM PC. The first choice of entry-level and occasional designers worldwide. The first choice of educators. Even designers with high-powered work stations reach for smARTWORK first for simple boards.

First off the starting line

If you need a convenient and fast way to create single- or double-sided printed circuit boards, smARTWORK is what you've been looking for. Whether you're designing your first or thousandth layout, smARTWORK and your IBM PC will guarantee manufacturable boards without the hassle and endless revisions associated with hand-taping.

smARTWORK takes advantage of single-keystroke input for common tasks like placing pads, running traces, and moving the cursor. Simple mnemonic commands are used for more complex functions, such as placing component footprints. Component outlines for SIPs, DIPs, connectors, and many other common footprints appear automatically on the silkscreen layer.

After a couple of hours with the tutorial, you'll be ready to create your next layout with smARTWORK. If you need on-line reference, the help screens provide a quick summary of all of smARTWORK's commands and functions.

First to the finish line

Choose between three routing alternatives with smARTWORK. Connect two networks by simply pointing at them with the cursor. The router connects the two networks with the shortest route, without crossing other conductors. If you need a trace to follow a critical path, smARTWORK lets you guide the router personally. Or, you can start smARTWORK's optional re-entrant autorouter, then sit back and watch while the autorouter completes your layout.

You can use smARTWORK with any IBM or compatible PC with 640K RAM, CGA, EGA, or VGA, and a RGB color monitor. Produce your artwork with Epson printers, Houston Instrument or Hewlett-Packard plotters, or photoplotters.

See for yourself why the first affordable PCB artwork software for the PC is still the first choice of thousands of engineers. all Wintek software is sold with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try smARTWORK for 30 days at no risk.
