creo 3.0 ecad import

    Hello,

I have the same problem and I'm wondering if you find solution in the meantime.

Recently we've migrated from ProE/Creo Elements5  to Creo3.I've build in the old system all

necessary (library, ecad_hint.map file etc.) to import/export PCB layout.With the new one there is a problem with electronic

components with names longer than 31 symbols.The system cut the name but for package name remain the same.The example below  is from ecad_in.log file.

" The part name <C ELECTROLYTIC SM V-CHIP - SIZE F 8/10.2MM()> is too long, and will be truncated.

Warning : Bad Part name <C ELECTROLYTIC SM V-CHIP - SIZE> for package name <C Electrolytic SM V-chip - Size F 8/10.2mm()> and alt name <C_EL/Size F/-220u/35V Low Impedance>. The component ignored."

As result model of this component is not assembled.

When try to import the same emn/emp files in the ProE/Creo Elements5 the system truncates names and use renamed package and alt name instead of original:

<C ELECTROLYTIC SM V-CHIP - SIZE> for package name <C Electrolytic SM V-chip - Size> and alt name <C_EL/Size F/-220u/35V Low Imped>

Here the component is into PCB.

     I'll appreciate any advise and help to solve the problem

     Thanks,
