Design Structure PanelThe tree in the top-left panel shows the design hierarchy along with any variants. You can choose a design scope or a variant scope. Based on your selection, theConnector for Cadence OrCAD extracts the BOM and loads it into the Design BOM Panel. Design BOM PanelThis table lists the extracted BOM. You can click a linked item in the Structure column to view that object in X-CAD Design Management in a browser window. If not already logged in, the login dialog box opens. For more information, see X-CAD Design Management User's Guide: CAD Portal View. The root node in the structure is the assembly that lists all other components. The table columns provide details about each component in the assembly. For information about the context menu for the items in this panel, see BOM Scope Context Menu. You can click on the left corner of any column heading to filter the table using these options:
This table explains what the different text formatting means:
Bareboard Document PanelThis section shows the Bareboard document as a Specification Document for the PCB component. The Connector for Cadence OrCAD checks if a document already exists in 3DEXPERIENCE, and if so, displays the name, type, and revision of that document. If the Bareboard document does not exist in 3DEXPERIENCE, the Connector for Cadence OrCAD displays a message and clears the fields in this section of the dialog box. You can click to open the document in 3DEXPERIENCE in a browser window. If not already logged in, the login dialog box opens. Bareboard PanelThis panel shows the part as a PCB in the BOM. TheConnector for Cadence OrCAD checks if a PCB already exists in 3DEXPERIENCE, and if so, displays the name, type, and revision of that PCB. If the PCB does not exist in 3DEXPERIENCE, the Connector for Cadence OrCAD displays a message and clears the fields in this section of the dialog box. You can use the project setup to add a PCB to the design. For more information, see Setting Up a Project. Click to highlight the Bareboard in the BOM. Assembly CAD Model PanelThis section shows the assembly CAD model as a Specification Document for the assembly component. TheConnector for Cadence OrCAD checks if a document already exists in 3DEXPERIENCE, and if so, displays the name, type, and revision of that document. If the assembly document does not exist in 3DEXPERIENCE, theConnector for Cadence OrCAD displays a message and clears the fields in this section of the dialog box. You can also add a new assembly document at any time in Project Setup. You can click to open the document in 3DEXPERIENCE in a browser window. If not already logged in, the login dialog box opens. Global Statistics PanelThis panel shows the number of components with each status from the design and selected variants. See the following section for descriptions of the statuses. Statistics PanelThis panel provides an overview of the component status. It displays the number of components with each specified status. Click any status to open a dialog box that lists the components that have that status.
Process Action PanelThis panel at the bottom of the BOM Editor dialog box lets you perform these actions:
