Getting Started with Symphony Team Design October 2019 5 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Introduction This document introduces Allegro® PCB Symphony Team Design as a new product option, which is a concurrent design environment where multiple users can connect to a common database for collaborative design activities. With this option, you need not create separate databases or partitions for each user that requires merging of their work into a master database. This user guide describes features and functionality for the following layout editors: ■ Allegro PCB Designer ■ Allegro Venture PCB Designer ■ Allegro Enterprise PCB Designer (Symphony Team Design Option included in bundle) ■ Allegro Physical Viewer Plus ■ Allegro Package Designer+ ■ Allegro Sigrity SI Note: The information provided in this document is based on Cadence® Allegro® release 17.4-2019. ■ Symphony Team Design Overview ■ System Requirements ■ Terminology ■ Basic Operation and Flows Symphony Team Design Overview Concurrent team design (PCB Team Design Option) has been part of Allegro® PCB Editor for some time. This solution requires the partitioning of the master design into separate sections so that each team member can perform design activities. These sections are exported from the master database as partition databases so that each team member can work independently on their assigned section. After work is completed, the individual design partitions are imported into the master database to get a clear picture of the complete design.
