creating board outline based on 3D model

Veci

Hi, 
is there any way to create a 3D shaped board (not planar) using OrCAD? If not, what is the best way to handle such design? 
I'm looking for alternatives to MECADTRON Nextra on the market. 

Thanks a lot for your ideas.

    If you are talking about putting bends (flexi rigid for example) then this is possible in OrCAD Professional and above. Draw the Design_Outline that would be a complete outline of all boards then use Zones to section the board up and draw bend lines for how you want to bend the design. The 3d Canvas can then show you a design in a bent state. there are many videos on YouTube channel Parsyseda, try searching for zones and bend and 3d canvas which should get you going.
