You
can synchronize component libraries between ECAD and MCAD.
ECAD
designers can push their electronic components to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. They
pass component information to MCAD through IDX files using the
Part Number and Package Name. In the
CircuitWorks tree, in the Components folder, right-click a
component and click Associate Model to associate the component
with an already existing electronic component on the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform.
For new components, SOLIDWORKS creates new electronic components on the
3DEXPERIENCE platform where ECAD designers can access them. MCAD passes
information for these components to ECAD through IDX files using
the Part Number and Package Name.
