Productivity Gold 

 
Do your mask design teams have to do more with less resource these days? 
 
Is your CAD support team overloaded?  
 
Have you been approached to spend yet more money from your capital budget? 
 
Is your budget for new tools non-existent, already spent, or dramatically reduced?
 
Have you been frustrated trying to get the mask designers to use more sophisticated tools?
 
If your answer to any or all of these is yes, cheer up. There may be productivity gold right in your own back yard! If you are a Virtuoso XL user on 5.41 CDBA or have already migrated to Virtuoso Platforms on Open Access, you already own some great tools that can make your mask designers smile, take some heat off of your CAD support team, and pay huge productivity dividends when you need it the most.Did you know that with these tools you can dramatically reduce mouse clicks, pans, zooms and rulers, reduce your dependence on visible grids, build complex busses and guard rings, breeze through labeling tasks, and create and edit from high altitude by rule?
 
In 2005 Cadence Design Systems purchased a set of tools from STX Cadware, Inc. Currently known as the “Turbo Toolbox”, this powerful suite of layout productivity enhancers is now an included feature of both Virtuoso XL on CDBA and all Virtuoso packages on OA.  That’s right you probably already own it! Up until now it has been one of the best-kept secrets in the industry. A large percentage of Cadence users already own the tool and yet remain totally unaware of its capabilities and features or how to enable it for their mask designers.

 
 

Return on Investment  


The secret is out and there is very good news! For a minimal investment in education & setup consulting, you can quickly put the Turbo Toolbox to work for your designers at a time when they most desperately need the help. There is no additional software to buy, so it won’t affect your capital budget and it doesn't requires little or no internal CAD support. The return on investment is tangible, easily guaged, and makes immediate contibutions to your bottom line.
