ECAD-MCAD collaboration

The solutions of the big-player software manufacturers simplify cooperation between designers and layouters, but they do not support three-dimensional interconnect devices. So even though program interfaces have improved, the conclusion is the same as in Section 8.10.1. ECAD-MCAD collaboration works very well for planar boards but not for three-dimensional electronic circuits.
