Hi, Yes, we use ECAD to communicate between ProE and OrCAD (EE layout). We have an EE component library set up in Intralink and a hint map created to replace the ECAD block components with ProE components from our library. There are bugs in both the ProE (ProE can't see a hint.map stored in Intralink) and OrCAD side but it works ok. Best Regards, Fergal

Hi : Thanks very much!that's the perfect process of the similar work. i would try to finish the new process for our compony. The most difficult thing is to rebuild the EE components library and complete and maintain the Hint.map file i think. it would cost too much time of mine to do it while i am doing some projects. if my boss can give me more mental support, i would do better and faster:) But i am very disappoited. welcome you come to china someday and make lots of fun. thanks!
