Summary of key concepts:

• Design — the core unit of engineering content within a project (a logical or topological representation of a system).
• Design Revision — versioned snapshots of a design over time.
• Effectivity — rules describing which build/configuration a design element applies to (e.g. by date, serial number range, or option).
• Engineering Change Order (ECO) — the formal change-management workflow for tracking and approving design changes.
• Applicable Options — the set of build options that apply to a given design or design element.
• Evaluated Design — a design instance resolved/evaluated against a specific set of options or effectivity criteria.
• Design Folder — organizational grouping for designs within a project.
• Comparing Objects and Their Properties in Design Revisions or Build Lists — tools for diffing design content and properties across revisions or build-list variants.
• Preset DRC Configuration Help / Design Rule Check Descriptions — Design Rule Check (DRC) configuration presets and descriptions of the individual rule checks available.
• Import and Export of Designs — moving design data into/out of Capital Project Manager.
• Saving Backup Copies of Designs / Restoring a Design from a Backup Copy — backup and recovery workflow for design data.
• Derivative Harness Design — creating a harness design that derives from (inherits/extends) another design.
• Capital Harness Designer LD Integration — integration point between Capital Project Manager and Capital Harness Designer for logical-design (LD) data.
