FlexBV | Professional Boardview & Schematic Integration

Universal boardview, layer & schematic inspection

Inspect 40+ boardview and CAD formats, internal copper layers, and linked schematics in a single native workspace. Take the friction out of tracing power rails, finding components across files, and diagnosing dense PCBs.

Good-faith licensing: Buy once, run offline or air-gapped, and manage your own seats without dongles or recurring fees.

What's inside FlexBV6

layers

Copper & draw layers

Go beyond basic pin views. Inspect internal copper pours, trace geometry, and draw layers across 40+ natively decoded formats (Allegro, ODB++, KiCad, .FZ, .BRD, XZZ, and more).

hub

Constellation & Mycelium

Superior to basic "netwebs." Visualize extended signal and power paths across series resistors, inductors, and diodes to instantly see how power spreads across the board.

electric_meter

FXData & Guide Builder

Record and view diode-mode, voltage, and resistance measurements directly on nets alongside component values. Follow or build interactive FXD repair guides right on the canvas.

picture_as_pdf

Cross-schematic Part-Find & Multi-Search

Find parts across multiple schematics instantly, or use Multi-Search to discover common nets shared between components. Click a pin on the board to jump straight to the schematic.

FlexBV Packages (.fbvpkg)

Eliminate messy folders. Bundle the boardview, schematic, custom measurements, and repair journaling into a single self-contained .fbvpkg file for easy archiving and bench sharing.

security

Air-gap ready & Remote seat control

Run in strict network-free mode for zero telemetry and no cloud logins. Manage single licenses or 5/10-seat workshop packs easily via our self-service portal.

Over 40+ PCB, CAD & ICT formats—no conversion required

FlexBV6 doesn't just show pins—when a format contains layer geometry, FlexBV extracts and renders copper pours, draw layers, pad shapes, vias, and part outlines natively at high frame rates.

layers Full CAD & Layer-Rich

Complete multi-layer rendering including internal copper traces, draw layers, custom pad geometry, vias, and integrated schematic support where applicable.
