Keltri Reader

Introduction

Keltri Reader is a local PCB and schematic viewer for Windows that opens Altium, KiCad, Protel, PADS, Cadence OrCAD / Allegro, EAGLE, Mentor Xpedition, EasyEDA and vector PDF datasheets in one workspace, with no commercial CAD licence required. Its centrepiece is bidirectional instant cross-probing: select a component or net on the schematic and the matching location highlights on the PCB layout, which makes signal tracing and bring-up far easier. All CAD parsing, netlist extraction and rendering run inside the local process and design files are never uploaded to a server. It is an inspection and viewing tool, not an autorouter, layout editor or manufacturing DRC engine.
