Folks
We are having issues with import of components using IDF files from Cadence Allegro in a Pro/ENGINEER session linked to Pro/INTRALINK.
The components have been imported previously from Cadence as IDF files into Pro/ENGINEER. The Pro/ENGINEER representation of the board assembly (including the components) have been checked into Commonspace.
We have defined the ECAD library as the master. We don't create our own representation of electrical components - we're happy with cubes.The definition of the component has changed in Allegro and thus the IDF file. We need to update the Pro/E representation.
When I import the IDF file (with the new component definitions), the components existing in Commonspace take precedence over the component definitions defined in the IDF file.
We have developed an internal process using an unlinked Pro/ENGINEER session but I was wondering if anybody as a clever solution to this problem.
Currently running : Pro/ENGINEER 2001 / 2002430 Pro/INTRALINK 3.2 / 2002270
