Welcome to LogicWorks™ and the world of interactive circuit design. As electronic systems have become more complex, operating speeds higher and custom chip technology more widespread, software tools for engineers have become an essential part of the design process. It is no longer possible for an individual engineer or a corporation to remain competitive while using pencil and paper for design. Powerful computer aided design (CAD) programs have been commercially developed to meet the increasing demands facing industry. At Capilano Computing Systems Ltd., our flagship product, DesignWorks, is used in government, industrial, and academic labs worldwide, providing users with speed, ease of use, and affordability. Many instructors want to give their students hands-on experience with CAD tools used in industry, but the high cost and complexity of most commercial CAD programs limit their use at academic institutions. In the light of this, we developed LogicWorks, the student version of DesignWorks, to be used by students in lab settings and by instructors as an interactive teaching aid. LogicWorks was created with the following goals in mind:
To give the student an introduction to the concepts and practicalities of using CAD tools.
To provide a "virtual workbench" that allows the student to quickly test out circuit design ideas and document results.
To be intuitive and easy to use, so that time is not wasted on the details of installing and operating the software.
To provide the features and interfaces necessary to work with current design technologies.
To provide an upward path to professional design tools used in industry.
LogicWorks4 has a new and completely redesigned user interface and adds several major features not found in earlier versions. In particular automatic sheet borders and new graphics import capabilities let you create finished, professional-looking diagrams.

In addition to these hard-wired export formats, LogicWorks4 opens a new dimension of customization capability with Microsoft's ActiveX technology. ActiveX allows users to build their own add-on components for LogicWorks using standard programming tools like Visual Basic and Visual C++. These components can add new simulation, analysis, display and export capabilities, extending LogicWorks4 with new design and teaching technology.
