Re: More default fields in schematic

 

Hello!

Please don't add manufacturer/distributor's information / procurement informtion which will end up in the schematics as some empty or non-empty defaults.
Or add them as invisible/all off by default.

This will spoil version management on schematics level and supports merging responsibilities of the design-correctness (choosing parts and manufacturer(s) and their part no. to fit, incl. a coice of second source components) with responsibilities of the procurement (choosing dists / sourcing partners).

When you want to implement some version management and/or some product life-cycle management / obsolescence-management, you will very likely end up in a maintenance nightmare in big projects.
It became also more common that manufacturer names and mfg part numbers keep changing over the lifetime od a design. See: Motorola->Freescale->NXP(->Qualcomm?) chain of aquisitions.

I strongly suggest to split the design data from the manufacturer data from the dist/supply chain data.
It is so easy to put some database connectivity in between to link these together to stay flexible.

Regards,

Clemens
