Variant Management
CADSTAR manages 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.
- Hierarchical variants allow use of one PCB design for multiple product builds along with definition of multiple variant hierarchies, each with its own unique conditions
- Intelligent checking offers different electrical components in different variants
- Use one design to fit many products with differing environmental and market requirements
- Control data and components used in each variant
- Display the name of each selected variant in any Windows device for assembly drawings, service book, schematic, etc.
- Copy parts of the design to match different product and international requirements, storing all the information in a single CADSTAR schematic design file
- Create one multiple BOM for different variants in the early stage of the product design cycle allowing purchasing departments time to negotiate component costs
