Altium Designer provides all the capabilities currently covered by P-CAD with the added benefit of being a unified electronics design solution, sharing a single data model and providing a single view of the entire design process.

Many of the features familiar in P-CAD are incorporated in Altium Designer, which retains a rich set of functions for designing printed circuit boards and generating output for manufacturing.
