What is Review and Markup?

Review and markup in PCB design refers to collaborative processes where the design is evaluated by different stakeholders, and feedback is provided in the form of comments, annotations, or markups directly on the design files. This ensures the design meets all technical, functional, and manufacturing requirements before moving to production and streamlines the PCB design process.

This feature is available in OrCAD X and Allegro X

Key Features of Review and Markup in OrCAD X

OrCAD X contains the functionality you need to perform design reviews efficiently.
Embedded Comments
Comments made in the PCB canvas are embedded into the design database, making them accessible to all stakeholders with the design files for efficient collaboration. This minimizes the back and forth email communication, streamlines design reviews, and reduces errors.
Design Screenshots
Screenshots of the PCB are automatically included with comments, allowing designers to review the exact issues on the PCB at the time the comment was made and eliminates confusion.
Design Markup
Design markup highlights specific areas on the PCB canvas using rectangles and arrows to communicate aspects of the design that need to be examined further, streamlining the design review process.
Commenting and Collaboration
Include comments in the PCB design to effectively communicate with team members. The “Google Doc” approach let’s you easily add, review, reply, edit, resolve, delete and hide comments to efficiently collaborate.
Stakeholder Tagging
Tag stakeholders and designers to quickly draw attention to specific comments and expedite the design review process.
Comment Archiving
Archive comments to separate the team conversations and collaboration from the design database to share only the design files with manufacturers and external partners.
