Xpedition Advanced is an advanced multi-domain PCB and systems design solution for growing engineering teams developing high-speed, high-density and rigid-flex designs. It combines advanced routing automation, extended constraint intelligence, real-time multi-user schematic design, integrated signal integrity verification, ECAD-MCAD collaboration and BluePrint-powered manufacturing automation in a connected design environment.

Xpedition Advanced includes the core Xpedition design environment and workflows available in Xpedition Standard, while adding greater automation and engineering depth for more complex designs and growing teams. Advanced adds capabilities such as extended high-speed constraints, advanced automated routing, sketch planning, concurrent multi-user schematic design, included rigid-flex design, integrated signal integrity simulation, advanced ECAD-MCAD co-design and additional BluePrint capabilities such as pack and release and assembly panel design.

Xpedition Advanced is designed for growing engineering teams and individual engineers working on increasingly complex PCB designs. It is well suited for teams developing high-speed, high-density or rigid-flex boards that need more routing automation, stronger constraint management, earlier electrical verification and greater collaboration without requiring full enterprise infrastructure.

Advanced reduces manual effort across the design process with advanced routing automation, sketch routing, sketch planning, circuit reuse and workflow automation. Extended high-speed electrical constraints and integrated signal integrity verification help engineers identify issues earlier, while concurrent multi-user schematic design enables multiple engineers to work in parallel.

Xpedition Advanced provides extended electrical and physical constraints for requirements such as time-of-flight delay, parallelism, crosstalk and topology. It also supports advanced differential-pair routing, HDI vias, tuning, rigid-flex design and integrated signal integrity simulation. Additional HyperLynx-powered analysis options are available for teams that require deeper performance verification.

Yes. Xpedition Advanced supports real-time, multi-user (up to three) concurrent schematic design. Multiple engineers can work on the same schematic in parallel, helping growing teams increase design capacity, reduce bottlenecks and standardize collaborative design processes.

Teams that need to expand schematic capacity without assigning a full Xpedition Advanced license to every user can also use Xpedition Advanced DS, a schematic-only solution that supports concurrent schematic design.

Xpedition Advanced connects schematic and layout design with manufacturing preparation and documentation. It includes manufacturing output automation, Valor-powered DFM checks, BluePrint manufacturing drawing and documentation capabilities, panelization, pack and release, and assembly panel design. These capabilities help teams carry design intent into more consistent production-ready outputs and reduce manual preparation before fabrication and assembly.

Yes. Xpedition Advanced supports ECAD-MCAD co-design with leading mechanical design environments, including NX and other advanced MCAD tools. This helps ECAD and MCAD teams coordinate design intent, identify placement, fit and interference issues earlier, and reduce rework during integration.

Yes. Xpedition Standard and Xpedition Advanced are fully compatible in both directions for libraries and designs. Teams can adopt Advanced capabilities as their design and process requirements grow without changing the underlying design environment or disrupting established workflows.

Yes. Xpedition Advanced provides integrated component research across more than 625 million manufacturer part numbers, access to high-quality ECAD models, component sourcing insights during schematic capture and AI-assisted Smart Datasheet capabilities. These tools help engineers make better-informed component decisions earlier in the design process.
