As your OrCAD projects grow in complexity, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a clear overview of files, versions, and relationships within the design.
Without a clear structure, uncertainty quickly arises about what the current version is and how changes impact the rest of the design.
In this webinar, we explore how you can work more consistently with your data through EDM (Engineering Data Management) – a dedicated, self-hosted data management system for OrCAD.
In many OrCAD environments, data is still handled through network drives and manual processes. This works in smaller setups but becomes challenging as projects, teams, and revisions grow.
The result is often work carried out with uncertainty around versions, repeated manual checks, and a lack of consistency between documentation, output and design data.
EDM is developed specifically for OrCAD Capture and PCB data and takes into account the dependencies found in a typical design flow.
The system consolidates data into a structured environment where versioning, file relationships, and project information are handled consistently. This means that changes in one area can be reflected and tracked across the entire project.
At the same time, key project data can be kept up to date and automatically propagated to both schematics and PCB. This reduces the need for manual updates and minimizes the risk of inconsistencies.
EDM also supports the generation of standard outputs such as Gerbers, BOMs, netlists, and documentation, as well as design revision comparison across versions. Check-in/check-out functionality ensures controlled collaboration in shared projects.
The webinar is relevant to all OrCAD users working on PCB and schematic design who want a more structured, controlled approach to managing design data.
