OrCAD Capture V17.2 - BOM configuration management

Eliottt

Hello,

I have to manage two board with the same schematic but different BOM.

The two DSN have the same property "NM" for non mounted component, only this column is different on the two designs.

The board is exactly the same, only DSN/BOM are different.

I want to know if there is a way to easily manage this double configuration.

After merging the two schematic, today I proceed this way;

1) I added a "NM_C2" column in the property

2) After I updated the schematic I need to export the BOM twice with "NM" and "NM_C2" configuration.

3) The schematic is not clear because only the property "NM" is displayed, it's not easy to check the "NM_C2" configuration.

Why In the property editor we can't change the display configuration for all components ? Today we need to change the display property one component by one component from the schematic editor ...

Thank you for help.

Regards,

Eliott T.

    As others point out CIS Variants work best here. If you don't have CIS you could add a properties to each part in your schematic, say 'NM1' and 'NM2', and enter values for each variant of your design. Include these 2 properties in the Capture BOM string.
