Would like to see a possibility to have version control of schematic/pcb designs.
I know this is a huge area, but here are some ideas that would help me (and maybe others)
to keep track of different versions:
- Subfolder underneath a project to add "Tag"-like functionality: Schematic/PCB in different versions in named subfolders. Example:
+ Project "DevBoard"
\-- "Revision A"
\-- Schematic
\-- PCB
\-- "Revision B"
\-- Schematic
\-- PCB
- Possibility to flag Schematic/PCB files as Read-Only or manufactured or whatever
- So you can copy "Revision A" to "Revision B", flag "Revision A" as read-only. And modify "Revision B". And so on...
+ Project "DevBoard"
\-- "Revision A"
\-- Schematic (read only)
\-- PCB (read only)
\-- "Revision B"
\-- Schematic (read only)
\-- PCB (read only)
\-- "Revision C"
\-- Schematic
\-- PCB
The reason for that is that I want to have a reference for the Schematic/PCB after I have manufactured a design. And also the possibility to enhance the Schematic as well as the PCB design for the same project.
Thanks and best regards,
