Large projects can be quite complex.
You may have different symbol libraries for prototype and production.
You may have partial implementations: test boards and the like. One =
recent project of mine had two production board variants, where which =
board you made depended on which subset of the top level schematics you =
chose.
You often simulate fragments of the system, so each simulation is its =
own subproject based on its own subset of the schematics.
You may need to support multiple layout systems.
Projects often contain parts outside the EDA toolkit, like LaTeX =
documents, C code, VHDL code, etc.
The general-purpose tool for handling this kind of thing is =E2=80=9Cmake=E2=
=80=9D.
