Modified: 29-Sep-2022   


Applies To

  • Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Wildfire 2.0 F000 to Wildfire 5.0 M280
  • Creo Parametric 1.0 to 9.0

Description

  • How to create ECAD Reference Designator for components
  • How to assign ECAD parameters ECAD_REF_DESECAD_NAMEECAD_ALE_NAME and etc.to components in ECAD assembly
  • In Creo Parametric, in addition to Tools> Parameter, is there any other function that supports the management of dedicated parameters for electronic components? For example, in the case of Capacitor, you want to manage the parameter values of Category / SubCategory / capacitance / unit / applied DC voltage (V).
  • In the process of electromechanical collaboration, if the electronic component called by the electrical engineer only has the package number (Package symbol name), there is no reference designator and material number (PART_NUMBER). In such a case, the electrical engineer exports the IDX file, and the mechanical engineer imports the IDX file. Can the model be called with the map file? If a package number corresponds to multiple material numbers, how to implement the model that calls the correct material number?
