OrCAD Capture CIS and CIP Overview
OrCAD Capture CIS and CIP provide direct integration and easy management of a centralized component database in your CAD environment. OrCAD Capture Component Information System (CIS) is the link between the internal design team, comprised of schematic and PCB users, and the component database. This feature provides the database connection as well as the ability to synchronize designs with the database. Managing a part database with only OrCAD Capture CIS may be tedious and become problematic with the amount of manual entry needed.
OrCAD Component Information Portal (CIP) can help by providing a user-friendly interface for performing part research, adding parts, update parts, verify parts, and manage your part database.
By implementing a centralized part database with OrCAD Capture CIS and CIP, you can achieve:
- The creation of temporary components in seconds with automatic population of part attributes, parametric information, and datasheets based on distributor information.
- Linked symbols, footprints, simulation and 3D Models to the component and ensure accuracy and consistency for the entire team.
- Adherence to project schedules with the ability to continue with the design while a librarian or administrator approves parts.
- Tracking part changes and reporting them in your schematic, saving the countless hours of verifying symbols, footprints, components, and the associated parametric information.
- Efficiently managing and communicating design variants.
This course will provide in-depth training on how to utilize the time-saving features of OrCAD Capture CIS and CIP to reduce errors and improve efficiently for design data management in your PCB design process.
