CAD file downloader

To access the first time to the CAD file downloader, you must enter the login and password of your Electrical content portal (ECP) account.

The CAD file downloader dialog box displays 2D footprints or 3D parts downloaded from the manufacturer parts catalog.

 

Menu: Library > Manufacturer part management > Get more content > Download 2D footprint (SOLIDWORKS 3D part)

Manufacturer parts management: Contextual menu of manufacturer part > Download 2D footprint (SOLIDWORKS 3D part)

 

In the Manufacturer part management dialog box, select the manufacturer parts and click the command to start the download. When an existing file is already associated with the manufacturer part, you are asked if you want to overwrite it.

 

The downloaded 2D footprints are automatically stored in the 2D footprint management in the same class as the manufacturer part.

 

Stop: Stops the download of the selected 2D footprint.

Retry: Restarts the 2D footprint download after stopping it.

Delete: Deletes the selected 2D footprint.

Manufacturer part management: Opens the Manufacturer part management dialog box.

Properties: Opens the properties of the selected 2D footprint.
