How to combine multiple schematic and PCB layouts to a single project

RohitRohan
RohitRohan over 1 year ago

Hai Community,

I have a project where it consists of multiple schematic designs and multiple PCB layouts. These schematic design and PCB are combination for a single system but having different schematic files and different PCB files.

Instead of having multiple schematic designs and multiple PCBs, I want combine them. Is it possible in Design Entry HDL or is there any other products under Cadence for this requirement.

Regards,

Rohit Rohan

    You can choose one of the most legitimate one as your top or root level design and can create hierarchical symbols for other designs. Also, create modules on the layout side using existing boards for the designs which you want to reuse in your main design.

    Once done, user hierarchal symbols on root level at schematic side and create new board and place modules over there. This is design reuse flow which you can use as per your requirement.

    In order to understand it in more details, you can refer following document present on Cadence online support portal:
