To Export an Assembly as a Base IDX
You can export a board outline (including any holes) and component placement information from Creo Parametric as an EDMD (.idx) file.
1. In an open board assembly, click
File >
Save As >
Save a Copy. The
Save a Copy dialog box opens.
2. Select EDMD (*.idx) from the Type list.
3. Click OK. The compare to design is exported, and log messages are written to the file ecad_out.log.
4. To view notifications, click
. The
Notifications area shows the export errors and warnings.
| It is important to save the board and the assembly if IDs were updated. When you save only the assembly the board is not saved. |
