Overview
The Allegro EDM suite of products help organizations implement collaborative library and
design environment involving library and design teams, methodologies, corporate design
databases, and point tools. In addition, design lifecycle, library development a nd
management, and data management features are available to control the design and
library management processes. EDM offers two main types of flows:
• Librarian flows
Encompass the library development and management activities. Aim to generate,
assemble, and release all the validated library data elements (for example, symbol,
package/footprint, padstacks, and behavioral models) for the specific tools used in
the design process.
• Designer flows
Are specific to the front-to-back flow of the PCB design process. Based on the
nature of PCB design process, Allegro Data Manager provides out-of-the-box
design flows that serve as templates based on which you can construct your
standard flows.
A new designer flow is now available in EDM that is specifically for using System Capture
for logic capture. This document explains how to access System Capture from the EDM
Flow Manager.
Enable System Capture Design in EDM
Use the following option in Config Manager as EDM site administrator needs to enable
this flow for your site.
Alternately, an EDM site administrator can create an organization-level custom flow
based on OOTB System Capture Flow and publish.
