About ACEPlus

A key requirement in any design process is the ability to quickly and easily 
capture design concepts.  The graphical capture solution of choice for every 
design engineer's desktop is ACEPlus, an extremely versatile tool that allows 
designs to be represented as a mixture of hierarchical schematics, state 
diagrams, and hardware description languages such as Verilog HDL and VHDL.  
ACEPlus supports mixed top-down, middle-out, and bottom-up design 
methodologies permitting the capture process to commence at any level of 
abstraction.


Robust Functionality

ACEPlus has all the facilities necessary to satisfy the most complex design 
requirements and the most demanding of designers.  Its multi-view, multi-file 
editing environment offers exceptionally fast graphics that maximize 
productivity and minimize user frustration.  Sophisticated editing facilities 
include selecting objects based on user-defined criteria and Boolean 
conditions, rotating selected objects individually or as a group, manipulating 
symbols and nets as arrays, and dynamic Pan and Zoom to name but a few.  


Flexible and Configurable

ACEPlus is highly configurable and can be easily customized to suit in-house 
standards or individual user preferences.  In addition to supporting the 
concurrent development of ICs, PLDs, FPGAs, ASICs, hybrids, MCMs, and PCBs, 
ACEPlus serves as a front-end to all of Intergraph's analog, digital, 
mixed-signal, and mixed-discipline verification and layout tools as well as 
many third-party applications.  ACEPlus can also input and output data in a 
variety of standard formats making it an ideal standalone design capture 
station.


Multi-platform support

ACEPlus is available on the UNIX, DOS/Windows, or Windows NT operating 
systems.  All files generated by ACEPlus are binary compatible across 
platforms and operating systems.  For example, ACEPlus schematics and state 
diagrams generated on a PC running Windows NT can be transferred to a 
workstation running UNIX and directly accessed by ACEPlus on that workstation.


For more information

In addition to pre-defined examples, the demonstration copy of ACEPlus on this 
CD is supplied with a basic symbol library primitive gates and connectors 
allowing you to create your own schematics and state diagrams.  You can save 
these schematics and state diagrams to your local disk and recall them for 
later use.  However, certain functionality has been disabled in this 
demonstration copy; specifically, the ability to generate netlists or plot 
schematics.
