To Reference Custom Parts During ECAD Import
1. In a text editor, open the ecad_hint.map file.
2. Place the name of the replacement Creo Parametric component in the mcad_name section of the part's entry. The first line of each entry should be map_objects_by_name->. For example, if the Creo Parametric part file you want to reference is called resistor1.prt, specify resistor1.
3. Repeat for each .prt file that you want to reference. When you run the import again, your custom parts are substituted for the automatically generated ones.

Set the value of the parameter MCAD_TYPE to "assembly" if you want to substitute an MCAD assembly for an automatically extruded part.
