OrCAD Capture design entry, shown with optional CIS option, is
your link to PCB system design.
The CIS option integrates OrCAD Capture with
powerful capabilities of searching, retrieving, and
analyzing a company's and/or manufacturer's
component specifications. The result is a significant
reduction in the amount of time spent researching for
reuse of existing preferred or approved components
and schematic parts. Time spent entering content
part information is streamlined through using
enhanced CIS features. The CIS option automatically
retrieves the part data for use by engineering,
purchasing, and manufacturing – all centrally
managed within OrCAD Capture.
