Team Design for OrCAD facilitates schematic design in a team environment.

Integrated directly inside the OrCAD Capture interface. Allows views of the full history of all current and previous projects. Defines users and their roles, controlling design responsibilities as well as access rights to specific pages and functional blocks. Allows users to view project status, add new pages, download existing page(s) for editing, and upload any changes back into the system. Automated page locking upon download feature prevents edit collisions, while keeping other project members informed of the page’s status, including who is currently editing it. Once the user uploads the pages back into Team Design for OrCAD, the lock is removed and those pages are again open for editing by authorized users.

Allows notes describing modifications made, ensuring a full audit trail including timestamps and details of all updates made to the project. Maintains all past page revisions, for ease of rollback. Does not change current use model for the individual OrCAD Capture user. Captures details and history of the design, and allows collaborative activity. Once a team member gets their pages for editing, they are able to use all of the standard OrCAD functionality as usual.
