To Specify Parts as Electrical or Mechanical
1. In a part file, click Tools > Parameters. The Parameters dialog box opens.
2. Click and create a string parameter, ECAD_PART_TYPE, with a value of either ELECTRICAL (electrical component) or MECHANICAL (mechanical component).
If no parameter is defined, the part is mechanical by default.
