[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro-Idf-SolidWorks

Hi Mike,

Not sure if SolidWorks has a mapping file like ProEngineer/WildFire. If
it does use it.
Also Reference Designators are used in the Cadence IDF-In interface to
automatically
pull the right jedec from the netlist.

Hope this helps

Andy

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Allegro-Idf-SolidWorks

        Just looking for a little feedback from anyone that is using IDF
to transfer mechcad/ecad
        data using Solidworks.

        Regarding the use of transferring placement how do most people
handle their placement?
        With or without reference designators?
        If placement is done without reference designators how do they
map the Solidworks parts
        with the Allegro jedecs? 
        
        I'm aware that the origin and rotation of both the mechanical
model and Allegro footprint need
        to be the same, but what happens if the mechanical model and the
Allegro footprint name are
        different?

        thanks,
