Creating and Attaching Documents to Variant Assemblies

You can create and attach manufacturing output documents to variant assemblies.

The product has following default manufacturing document configuration:

For (non-variant and variant) assemblies:

  • PDF (OrCAD CIS only): the OrCAD schematics as a single PDF file based using user plot setup.
  • MANUAL-SELECTION: Allows the user to manually select files which are zipped up into the file AllFiles.zip.

For a PCB:

  • STEP: A step export of the PCB
  • IPC2581: An IPC 2581 report of the PCB
  • IPC356: An IPS 356 report of the PCB
  • GERBER: The PCB’s artwork files
  • NCDRILL: The PCB’s drill files
  • NCROUTE: The PCB’s route files
  • IDF: An IDF export of the PCB
  • PDF-PCB: A PDF plot of the PCB

  1. In ORCAD CIS, right-click the object to save and click 3DEXPERIENCE > Save with options.

    In Cadence HDL Project Manager select Tools > 3DEXPERIENCE > Save.

    The variant specific generated manufacturing documents are displayed in the product structure similar to PCB specific generated manufacturing documents.
  2. Click Save.

    The created manufacturing output documents are attached to the corresponding variant assembly.
