To Redefine and Suppress Failing Objects During Assembly Update
1. On the ECAD - MCAD Collaboration tab, click Collaboration Control > Options. The Creo Parametric Options dialog box opens to the Set options for ECAD Assembly and ECAD - MCAD Exchange page.
2. Retain the default selection or clear the following check boxes in the ECAD Collaboration - Check dependency events from section:
 
* All redefine and suppress options in this area are selected by default. When an option is selected the affected object is no longer parametric. Clear the check box to make the change in the object parametric.
◦ Board changes—Changes to the board geometry, such as the board outline and cutouts.
◦ Component changes—Changes to component placement.
◦ Hole changes—Changes to holes, lightweight and solid.
◦ ECAD Area changes—Changes to ECAD areas.
 
* Clear the default selection of these check boxes when the assembly design is very large. The options in the ECAD Collaboration - Redefine affected section are not available when you clear the selection of these check boxes.
3. Retain the default selection or clear one or all the following check boxes in the ECAD Collaboration - Redefine affected area:
◦ Components—Redefine assembly design components.
◦ ECAD Areas—Redefine ECAD areas.
◦ Holes—Redefine holes on the board outline.
 
* When you retain the default selection, the type of data is redefined so that the changed object is not referenced. In Creo Parametric the changed object remains in the original location.
Affected and suppressed features are displayed in Model Tree. The Feature column in the Redefined Objects collector dynamically lists the redefined features while the Change ID column lists their corresponding feature IDs.
4. Clear the default selection of Suppress cut features upon board changes in the ECAD Collaboration - Miscellaneous settings area if you do not want to automatically suppress cuts. These cuts represent ECAD holes and include circular outlines.
5. To commit the changed objects to the design database and quit the collaborative session, click Close in Creo View ECAD Validate and click Done on the ECAD-MCAD Collaboration Mode dashboard.
Objects with failed features are automatically suppressed and appear as suppressed in the Model Tree.
