Why

Improved collaboration by the ability to attach relevant documents directly to the semiconductor logical item

How   

• You can now use the Attachment tab in the Information Panel to seamlessly manage the reference documents for your Semiconductor Logical Items.
• You can also edit, update or modify the maturity state of the attached document without leaving the attachment tab

Why

Improved collaboration by the ability to quickly retrieve related objects of the semiconductor logical item directly

How   

• You can now use the Relations tab to quickly find and open objects related to selected to the semiconductor logical item

Note: You can use the “Expand” to a full-screen mode for an easier view and navigation through relations.

Why

Improved scope thanks to support for subversion connector to access information stored in Subversion repositories

How   

• You can now use the Subversion option in the Connector Configuration Settings to quickly initiate its configuration. You can then add Subversion Server Information and Repositories to complete its configuration
• Once Subversion connector is promoted to In Work maturity state, you can select it while defining a new Semiconductor Logical Item object.

Why

Improved error detection using cell view comparison and highlight feature

How   

• You can now use the Compare Cell Views feature to easily analyze the differences between 2 versions of a cell or a schematic. Further, you can use the Highlight feature to quickly visualize differences and detect errors.
• You can also use the Cell View Merge feature to easily resolve errors and merge selected changes.

Why

Improved efficiency while working in local Linux environment thanks to the enhancements in the SWS command-line feature

How   

The SWS command line feature allows you to work in local Linux environment to access and manage the local engineering design and information.

•The SWS command-line functionality is enhanced as follows:

•sws history: This command is introduced to quickly retrieve the complete list of commits with Author and Comments

•sws rollback: This command is introduced to quickly retrieve changes to previous states of design

•sws swap and restore: This command is introduced to swap semiconductor item versions in your workspace with other version. After using the swapped version, you can restore the workspace to its original state with the latest versions.
