In a recent Design007 Survey, we asked the following question: What would help you streamline your design process? Here are just a few of the answers, edited slightly for clarity.
Karl Bates, ConnectPCB: An industry-wide shared library, industry-wide shared models, and industry-wide shared board templates.
Mihai Burgheaua, Continental Automotive: A simplified internal process, a meaningful timeline, and smarter EDA tools.
Roger Hughes, Blackmagic Design: A more stable design environment. Unfortunately, that is not always possible.
