Why to use Allegro System Capture – Unified Search

During the design process, identifying or searching for components can be tedious and time-consuming. An inbuilt component dashboard helps improve productivity by providing access to your existing as well as third-party libraries.

System Capture has an integrated search dashboard with which you can search and place components without leaving your design environment. You can find the required part from multiple sources:

• Library: Corporate Libraries – Capture CIS database or DE-HDL libraries
• My Parts: Your local libraries
• Third-Party Search Providers: SamacSys and Ultra Librarian

Unified Search enables you to search, download, and add parts to your design directly from the Search Providers.

For a quick search, you can customize the headers based on your requirement. Right-click on the property header to see and configure the list of available headers for the parts. You can also use a free text search to find the required part.

Select a component in Unified Search to see the part properties, associated symbol, and footprints, as shown below.
