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.
