Variant Types (VAD_Editor)
The Variant Editor enables you to process simple variants and structured variants.
A HiCAD variant that is a base variant or has been derived from a base variant is called a structured variant. A base variant is a variant whose structure is described in a Base variant definition. You can specify the Base variant definition file currently required for the Variant Editor under Settings.
- Simple variants
HiCAD variants that are no base variants or have been derived from a base variant are called simple variants.
Depending on the variant type, HiCAD will display the appropriate user interface for the variant.
