Do you spend too much time archiving your designs, and later searching through archives for just that one project? Are your engineering reviews disorganized? Does your archive management flow store all the project files that you use? Files like libraries, reports, CAM data, etc.., not just design data? Are you able to quickly search archives, and compare and cross-probe between the schematic and layout files, or redline and append mark-up notes?
Proper archives are essential to back up and manage design data. A design-driven storage methodology promotes effective data backups, increasing productivity by efficiently creating, indexing, and restoring archives within a vault.
