For many of us, building a PCB is not done by a single person. We have teams for the schematic, layout, procurement, enclosure, and more. And for all design decisions, there is a review and approval process. It is essential to ask questions and review the design approaches used with your team. Design reviews are essential in the design process, but they can be inconvenient for team members and lack traceability or history. To create the best designs, you need review methods that are as cutting edge as the boards you're making.

Join us this week where we'll discuss design review best practices, including:

Placing comments directly within a project
Drawing on and marking up a project for review
Assigning design tasks to team members
Exporting comments in a report

Collaborative product development between the Electronic and Mechanical design domains brings unique challenges. Today, most companies are still using a file-based methodology (STEP, IDF, DXF, IDX) for creating and exchanging data between the two domains. This, for the most part, requires that the entire database is exchanged multiple times, resulting in README files, marked-up PDF’s and in-person meetings to review the updates and ensure they
