• Template settings—Sets the path to ECAD templates.

◦ Path for ECAD assembly template (template_ecadasm)—Sets the file and path of the model used as the default ECAD assembly template.

◦ Path for ECAD board template (template_ecadpart)—Sets the file and path of the model used as the default ECAD board template.

• ECAD Collaboration – Check dependency events from check boxes—Checks for dependencies from the selected items. These settings apply to ECAD assemblies and legacy design assemblies for ECAD designs.

◦ Board Changes (ecadcollab_scan_des_on_brd_chg)

◦ Component Changes (ecadcollab_scan_des_on_comp_chg)

◦ Hole Changes (ecadcollab_scan_des_on_hole_chg)

◦ ECAD Area Changes (ecadcollab_scan_des_on_area_chg)

• ECAD Collaboration – Redefine affected—Redefines the selected items automatically. These settings apply to ECAD assemblies and legacy design assemblies for ECAD designs.

◦ Components (ecadcollab_auto_redef_comps)

◦ Holes (ecadcollab_auto_redef_holes)

◦ ECAD Areas (ecadcollab_auto_redef_areas)

• ECAD Collaboration – Miscellaneous settings—Contains the following options:

◦ Suppress cut features upon board changes (ecadcollab_suppress_cuts)—Suppresses cut features

◦ Preview Level (ecadcollab_preview_level)—Sets the preview level.

▪ Partial (default)—Displays only the updated, changed and regenerated assembly. All board and assembly design changes are visible in Creo Parametric. The dependency changes are not visible until you refresh the view.

▪ Light—Displays the updated assembly as a 2D outline with the following preview colors:

▪ Full—Provides an accurate preview of all changes. Failed and dependent objects are suppressed or redefined according to the ECAD Collaboration - Redefine affected options.

◦ Reject State Settings—Sets the way collaboration changes are rejected.

▪ Prompt for selection—Prompts you to select the state to restore a rejected object for each object you reject.

▪ Use Base—Restores a rejected object to the base state when it is defined. When a base state is not defined, the rejected object is restored to the original state.

▪ Use Original—Restores a rejected object to the original state.

• ECAD Collaboration – Colors—Modifies the default colors for the following collaboration options:

◦ Accepted (ecadcollab_accept_color)—Sets the color for accepted changes to objects during ECAD collaboration.

◦ Rejected to baseline (ecadcollab_reject_color)—Sets the color for rejected changes to objects during ECAD collaboration.

◦ Preview Before (ecadcollab_preview_before_color)—Sets the color for an object changed on the ECAD side, before the change.

◦ Preview After (ecadcollab_preview_after_color)—Sets the color for an object changed on the ECAD side, after the change.

◦ Geometry representation on import (ecad_imp_conductor_def_geom_rep)—Sets the default geometry representation of conductors when you import them into a design.

▪ All Entities (default)—All conductors are imported as entities.

▪ All Surfaces—All conductors are imported as surfaces.

▪ All Quilts—All conductors are imported as quilts.

◦ Display (ecad_conductor_display)—Sets the context for the display of ECAD conductor objects.

▪ Only in ECAD mode (default)—Conductor objects are visible only in the context of an ECAD Assembly and an ECAD board part.

▪ Always—Conductor objects are always visible.

◦ Save method (ecad_save_conductor_data)—Sets how to save conductor data when the model is saved.

▪ Full (default)—All conductor information is saved.

▪ Minimal—Minimal required data is saved to allow conductors information to be calculated. This is the recommended value as it saves the conductors’ raw data but uses minimal disk space. When the model is retrieved, conductors are retrieved as entities. You must update their position and reassign geometry representation.

▪ No—Conductor data is not saved.

◦ Load (ecad_load_conductor_data)—Loads conductor data when the model is opened or retrieved.

• ECAD Assembly – Miscellaneous settings—Modifies the following options:

◦ Path for user defined ECAD area file (ecad_usrdef_area_type_file_path)—Sets the filename and path of the CSV file containing a list of user defined ECAD areas.

◦ Component follow board (ecad_comp_follow_board)—Sets ECAD components to follow the flexible board surface for bend, unbend, and bend back operations.
