ECAD related Document Types ECAD Neutral
Hello ECAD users
We started the implementation of Windchill in our company a couple of weeks ago.
In our company, we use Zuken CADSTAR for schematic and PCB. Well, CADSTAR ist not supported with a WGM, so we need to use the ECAD Neutral.
Right now, i'm trying to identificate what each of the ECAD related CAD Document types does.
ECAD related CAD Document Templates
- ECAD - BOM Attributes Mapping <= mapping file between Windchill BOM and ECAD Software
- ECAD - BOM Filter Definition <= Filter file for BOM, like Attrivutes we don't want to map to Windchill
- ECAD - Content <= ? don't know what this one does
- ECAD - Content Definition <= document pointer, like "in this folder is a file is a *.pdf file. Use it as content"
- ECAD - Documentation Data <= ? don't know what this one does (Blueprint PCB Software)
- ECAD - Drawing <= <= ? don't know what this one does
- ECAD - Manufacturing Data <= ? don't know what this one does (CAM350 Software)
- ECAD - MCAD Exchange Data <= Derived Data , we use it for IDF data
- ECAD - Packaged View <= ? don't know what this one does
Hope someone can explain what the other document types do. I'm specially interested in ECAD - Content. Whats the difference to ECAD - Content Definition?
Best regards
