To Incrementally Update the IDX File and the ECAD Assembly
1. Validate the proposed design changes that are displayed as transactions in the Transactions List of Creo View ECAD Validate with cross select and preview.
2. Right-click a validated transaction in the Transactions List or click Edit > Revise State on the menu bar to set the transaction to one of the following states:
◦ Set as Accept—Sets the transaction state as Accepted. The changed object associated with the selected transaction is displayed in green in the assembly design.
◦ Set as Reject—Sets the transaction state as Rejected. The changed object associated with the selected transaction is displayed in the Creo Parametric database color.
OK and
Cancel are available on the
ECAD - MCAD Collaboration tab when you set the transaction state to Accept or Reject in
Creo View ECAD Validate.
|  If you click a preview option after setting the transaction state to Accept or Reject, the Warning - Operation not supported dialog box warns you that preview of the design states is not allowed. It prompts you to set the transaction state to Unresolved. |
◦ Set as Undecided—Sets the transaction state to an unresolved state, neither accepted or rejected.
◦ Set as Deleted—Excludes the selected transaction from the collaboration.
3. Click File > Save in Creo View ECAD Validate to save the transaction states to the IDX file.
4. Click File > Close in Creo View ECAD Validate.
5. Click
OK on the
ECAD - MCAD Collaboration tab to commit the accepted design objects to the assembly database and quit the collaborative session. The objects that were displayed in green when accepted are displayed in the
Creo Parametric database color.
| You cannot use Undo, or Redo to undo or redo the ECAD assembly updates. |
The ECAD Changes Notification dialog box informs you about the update of the ECAD assembly and the ECAD log file with the changes. It also informs you that some objects can fail or are suppressed during the assembly update. It prompts you to confirm the update.
The Board Update – Break of Dependency dialog box informs you about the break in dependencies and the redefinition of features.
6. Click OK on these dialog boxes to confirm the update of the assembly.
