Overview
This RAK provides you step-by-step guidance to create a schematic design using
Allegro System Capture. System Capture helps you capture the design of a PCB in a
schematic form and add constraints to it. The schematic design is passed to the layout
tool, Allegro PCB Editor, to place and route the board-level design. Any changes made
in the layout are then brought back to the schematic to complete the design cycle.
This RAK is one in the following series on schematic capture in System Capture:
▪ Overview of Schematic Capture
▪ Constraining High Speed Designs from the Schematic
▪ Creating and Reusing Hierarchical Designs
▪ Navigating and Documenting your Schematic
▪ Creating Variants and BOM Reports
▪ Importing Design Data
▪ Caching and Part Management
In this RAK, you will learn to generate and edit Variants and BOM Reports in System
Capture.
