Design Version Control System for Expert

Introduction

The DVCS subsystem of CELEBRITY CAD suite provides significant improvement in management of complex designs, design reuse and teamwork management. The most important features of DVCS are the means for version tracking and team design coordination. Projects within DVCS follow the client-server architecture. The shared project files are saved into the Repository. The Repository is a special DVCS database controlled by the DVCS server process. When sharing a project between two or more developers, the Repository enables the task to be accomplished quickly and efficiently. When adding a file to DVCS, the file is backed up in the Repository and made available to other people. Changes that have been made to the file are saved, however, old versions can be recovered at any time. Members of a team can access the latest version of any cell, make changes, and save a new version of the cell in the database. DVCS project organization makes team coordination easy and intuitive. When a project is connected to DVCS, the DVCS server makes it easy to share and secure different versions of a selected set of cells.
