Zuken and LogicSwap Launch Free Cadence OrCAD to eCADSTAR Data Migration Software

Free module helps Cadence OrCAD users migrate PCB designs, schematics, and libraries into Zuken’s internet-connected eCADSTAR platform.

Yokohama, Japan and Westford, Mass., USA, January 20, 2026 – Zuken, a global provider of software and consulting services for electrical and electronic engineering, today announced the release of a free migration module created together with LogicSwap Solutions, a leading provider of data migration tools in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry. The new module enables users of Cadence OrCAD® to transfer existing PCB designs, schematics, and libraries into eCADSTAR®, Zuken’s modern, internet-connected PCB design platform.

The software provides a direct and automated path for converting legacy OrCAD data into eCADSTAR-compatible formats, minimizing the effort and risk typically associated with tool migration. The LogicSwap solution represents an important step for customers seeking to modernize their EDA environments and consolidate legacy design data within eCADSTAR. The module is available free to licensed eCADSTAR users and can be downloaded from LogicSwap’s website.

“We are seeing increasing demand from our user base for a migration path from their legacy data toward our modern, internet-connected eCADSTAR platform,” said Jeroen Leinders, eCADSTAR European Business Manager at Zuken. “This new module from LogicSwap fits that need—allowing engineers to pick up where they left off, but with the advantages of the latest EDA capabilities.”

Licensed eCADSTAR users can download the OrCAD-to-eCADSTAR migration module and documentation. Full documentation and support are provided by LogicSwap.
