General stability and usability of Orcad EDM

Cantstandya

Hi all,

My company just started exploring Orcad EDM. Just wondering if any of you have experience with the tool and could say something about what is working well and what is not working well? Knowing that Capture is somewhat sloppy on the file handling in general I am a bit afraid that EDM will just add a new level of confusion. My fear is that in corner cases we need to go into both the local workspace and the vaults and do manual changes and then the tool will give no benefits in total.

We are using the filesystem vault. SVN seems a bit old fashioned so a bit reluctant of introducing that.

However, my first impression is good. It seems to work fine. I have only tested basic check in/out of DSNs so far though.

    OrCAD EDM improves team collaboration but has some quirks, especially with file handling. Your concern about manual changes in both the local workspace and vault is valid, as conflicts can arise. The filesystem vault is a decent choice, though SVN, while older, is stable for version control. Basic check-in/out works well, but larger projects may reveal limitations. Overall, if Capture’s file management issues don’t cause major problems for you, EDM should be a helpful addition.
