Server-Side Publishing of ECAD Viewables
Windchill Visualization Services supports server-side publishing for the following tools:
• Cadence Allegro PCB (.brd,.bri,.dra,.mdd)
• Cadence Allegro Package Designer- APD (.mcm, .sip)
• Cadence DesignEntryCIS-OrCAD (.dsn)
• Cadence DesignEntryHDL- Concept (.cpm)
• Cadence Team Design Option - Concept (.cpm)
• Cadence Team Design Option-Allegro PCB (.brd)
• Zuken Board Designer (.pcb)
• Zuken System Designer (.cir)
• Zuken Design Gateway (.cir)
• Zuken Design Force (.dsgn)
• Mentor Expedition PCB (.prj)
• Mentor PADS Layout (.pcb)
• Mentor DxDesigner (.prj)
• Altium schematic (.schDoc)

Each sheet must be saved as an ASCII file.

• ECAD Neutral:
◦ CADIF (.paf, .cdf)
◦ DSN (.dsn, .cct)
◦ EDIF (.eds, .edf, .edi)
◦ GenCAD (.cad)
◦ GERBER (.gbr, .pho, .art)
◦ IDF (.bdf, .emn, .emp, .idf)
◦ IFF (.iff)
◦ IPC-2581 (.cvg, .xml)
◦ ODB++ (.tar, .Z, .tgz, .gz, matrix)
Server-side publishing with third-party ECAD integration requires consistency between EPM document content and ECAD WWGM. If the data is not populated by the ECAD WWGM, the data must be populated with the following criteria:
1. Save all primary content, including all design data and related data required to open the design on a remote worker machine, as a single ZIP file.
2. Add the file name of the primary design item being published to the ECAD_DESIGN_ITEM attribute.
3. For ECAD neutral file format server-side publishing, add the neutral file name (with extensions) being published to the ECAD_NEUTRAL_FORMAT_FILE attribute.
For ECAD data that is eligible for server-side publishing, this enables the following:
• Creating a New Representation
• Republishing jobs
|
|
• File synchronization is not supported by ECAD publishing.
• The alternate file formats are not supported by ECAD publishing.

Server-side publishing requires a worker to be configured. For more information, see “Installing and Configuring the Adapters” in the
Creo View ECAD Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide in the
Creo View Help Center or as a PDF on the
Reference Documents site.
