Providing a central design library and an ECAD design library for managing, developing, publishing and distributing, supporting the using of the central library in multiple regions, multiple design tools, and multiple product library configurations.

Providing a central design library of components, related supplier information, and the information of complete technology, environment, inventory, and cost. This information is available on the engineer's desktop through Aras PLM, allowing designers to make correct judgments in the early stages of design. Designers can view the supply chain information they need as they view technical data by defining process rules, to make their design decisions. It can be configured to prevent the using of components near the end of their life cycle left over from previous products in new designs. By providing in-depth tool integration, such as reviewing obsolete components in the design, assigning or upgrading device attributes in the schematic diagram from the device database, prototyping by using device logic symbols, and assigning enterprise component certification codes in the later stage, etc.

Supporting the management of design master BOM and derived BOM, releasing BOM and its associated design file packages to Aras PLM. It also supports the management of hierarchical BOMs for different production processes.

Providing web collaboration tools to collaborate with external partners and internal project teams to exchange information and collaborate during the design process.
