With Enterprise Altium Software Subscription users get the added benefit of performing bidirectional ECAD MCAD integration with the Siemens NX solution. A built-in panel, displayed in Altium Designer and Siemens NX, allows engineers to push and pull changes with a mouse click. No manual conversion or exchange of files is required.

Value Proposition:

  • Allows the exchange of MCAD data between Altium Designer** and Siemens NX MCAD tool in real-time without importing or exporting a DXF/DWG and STEP
  • Avoids data loss due to the usage of a managed content server to handle bi-directional changes
  • Provides complete visibility for changes made to a design by mechanical and electronic engineers
  • Allows engineers to focus on communication and design intent rather than software limitations
  • **Only available for designers with an Enterprise Altium Designer Software Subscription

44:22 Digitally Connecting ECAD-MCAD Collaboration

Collaborative product development between the Electronic and Mechanical design domains brings unique challenges. Today, most companies are still using a file-based methodology (STEP, IDF, DXF, IDX) for creating and exchanging data between the two domains. This, for the most part, requires that the entire database is exchanged multiple times, resulting in README files, marked-up PDF’s and in-person meetings to review the updates and ensure they

26:26 CoDesigner and MCAD Component Placement

We design products not just PCBs requiring effective collaboration between MCAD and ECAD engineers. We need to consider how we can reduce the likelihood of errors when placing critical design components. Component placement in the context of enclosures can be easily handled in an MCAD environment while it is more difficult to achieve in the ECAD domain. Learn how to place components from the MCAD side and synchronize them with Altium Designer
