interCAD is an electronic design automation (EDA) software suite developed by the South Korean company Interxsoft. It provides schematic and PCB layout viewing, design review, file comparison, and translation features for multiple ECAD formats.^[1][3]

interCAD includes Schematic Viewer, Layout Viewer, Gerber Viewer, and ODB++ Viewer modules.^[1] A SharePackage feature allows users to distribute design data as standalone executables for review without requiring a full EDA tool installation.^[2] The software also offers graphical file comparison for schematic, PCB, and manufacturing data, and a PCB Translator module for converting data between heterogeneous ECAD systems.^[4]

interCAD was first released in January 2008 as an automation tool linking OrCAD schematics to PADS Layout and Board Station Layout data.^[1] Initially dependent on specific EDA environments, it became a standalone cross-format review application in 2016.^[1]

In 2019, Interxsoft introduced the proprietary IXD file format for packaging ECAD design data, along with the free interCAD Reader utility.^[2]

In 2023, interCAD 2023 added Gerber and ODB++ Viewer support for CAM data review. In 2024, interCAD 2024 introduced graphical comparison between ECAD design files.^[1]

In September 2025, *PCB Directory News* reported that Interxsoft would present a next-generation PCB Translator at PCB West 2025, highlighting its focus on interoperability across multiple EDA tools.^[5]

The main commercial product offering multi-format viewing, comparison, executable packaging, and PCB translation capabilities.^[4]

A free application for viewing IXD, Gerber, and ODB++ files, with limited comparison tools.^[2][3]

The original 2008 version supporting OrCAD-PADS interoperability and basic automation features.^[1]

A subscription model combining Editor, Translator, Compare, and Viewer modules.^[6]

The IXD (InterCAD Exchange Data) format packages text, graphics, and design attributes into a single distributable file for review and collaboration. Files can be opened without additional EDA tools using interCAD Reader.^[2][1]

Coverage in Korean trade media such as *DigitalToday* has described interCAD Reader as a low-cost tool for PCB verification and review.^[3]

• PCB Directory News* and *GoodKyung* reported Interxsoft’s participation in PCB West 2025, noting its focus on translation and interoperability.^[5][7]

Unlike full PCB design suites such as OrCAD, Altium Designer, or Cadence Allegro, interCAD focuses on data review, translation, and collaboration rather than schematic-driven PCB synthesis.^[1]
