Vendor uses AutoCAD Electrical. We are going to use Creo Schematics Lite

Hey everyone,

We are in starting to use Creo Schematics Lite for our electrical drawings. Several of our vendors that we work very closely with use AutoCAD Electrical to create schematics that we would like to import and export back and forth.

It is my understanding that the imports will be stripped of any textual data such as parameters about the components. Is there anyway around this? The engineers working with the vendor need to be able to edit the imported schematics with as little trouble as possible.

What is the best way to handle working between the two programs?

Marc take a look at this discussion http://communities.ptc.com/message/260161#260161.

I'm also interested in what are you asking, but it seems that Creo Schematics doesn't have the basic feature to cover AutoCAD functionality.

It seems the other discussion, Marco pointed out earlier, explains the inability to transfering the parameters as a general limitation of the DWG interface.

Is anybody out there having experience with data transfer between AutoCAD Electrical and Creo Schematics?

Anyone have an idea how to work around the limitation?

Maybe AutoCAD has optional export formats, that could be used - some that preserve the parameters?
