Hello, I have a problem when communicating from Pro/E (WF2) to layout design (using Mentor). In the IDF-standard, they specify an area called ".other_outline" for soldermask-areas where you want to specify an EMC-shield (for example). But at my company our mcad-standard says we should use "Place Region" for this purpose. Now the layout-people do not accept this, so I must manually change this info in the IDF-file (change .PLACE_REGION to .OTHER_OUTLINE).
Shouldn't it be a function for this in Pro/E in order to meet the IDF-standard? Or is there any other idea how to make a correct IDF-file without this manually work? (Sometimes you still want to use a mixed model with both .place_region and .other_outline so auto-search-and-modify is not an option...)
Thankful for ideas... /// Martin
