Why PCB Data Management

5 © 2015 Cadence Design Systems, Inc. Cadence confidential.

Mechanical enclosure is managed in MCAD PDM (ex: Solidworks PDMworks)

Released Product is managed in PLM system (ex: Windchill, Enovia, Arena)

RISKPCB data is still managed in network drives!!

Software is managed in standard rev control system (ex: clearcase, git, svn, etc)

Common DM Environment

• Collaboration and design / data management being done as an ad-hoc process outside the CAD tools– Emails– Conference calls / meetings– Notes– Shared drives– PDM / PLM

• Drawbacks– None of the information or data is pushed back into the

design environment for management and traceability– This can quickly become a management mess– System exist outside native CAD environment
