Syncing schematic and layout has never been easier!

Schematic design and board layout are not a single-step process. We need to make many changes on both sides now and then. Once either the board or the design is updated, the other side needs to be synced.

Now, this syncing tends to get tricky. And even trickier is tracking the changes. Going through the reports to find the changes after each layout update or schematic update takes time. Moreover, if you find an unintended change, it adds an ECO cycle.

An ideal solution for the above will be to know the change before it gets done. This is exactly what OrCAD Capture – Allegro PCB Editor Flow offers. You can update the layout (with schematic changes) or update the schematic (with layout changes) using the PCB menu in Capture. The ‘Update’ feature shows a neat table of the changes done, as shown below.
