Variant Management
CADSTAR allows you to manage all the variants of a design for multiple product and international requirements, storing all information in a single schematic and PCB design file, each with its own Bill of Materials (BoM).
Features:
- Hierarchical variants allow you to use one PCB design for various product builds and define multiple variant hierarchies each with its own unique conditions
- Provides intelligent checking that means you can have different electrical components in different variants
- Enables you to use one design to fit many products - that combine environmental and market requirements
- Empowers you to control data and components used in each variant
- Displays the name of each selected variant within any Windows device for assembly drawings and service book schematics etc
- Can synchronize different parts of the design to match the different product and international requirements, storing all the information in a single CADSTAR schematic design file
- Creates one multiple BoM for different variants in the early stage of the product design cycle, allowing the purchase departments time to negotiate lower costs for components.
