ECAD/MCAD / IDX IDF export

alexsh

hey,

I try to setup a collaboration between ECAD and MCAD. So far it works but the big problem is, that all parts on the back side (only on the back side) are twisted (180°).

If I export the PCB as a IDF, everything is fine. If I export this as IDX everything is twisted.

Is there an option so I can turn this off/on?

Thanks

    Hi, I'm trying to make this round trip function work too, but have been unable to obtain any instruction from our channel partner on how to configure the libraries etc. so that Circuitworks understands what it's getting, so I'm curious if you have managed to obtain any documentation that walks through both the set up and how to actually use the MCAD collaboration tool? If you have got documentation, could you share the name of it so I can ask for that directly.Thanks!

    You might check some youtube feeds.  Or PM me if you get stuck.  It's actually pretty easy but I don't want to write out the instructions here.
