STEP file/ref desig

DAAS
DAAS over 11 years ago

I recently took a PCB Editor STEP file I made and imported it into ProE....then made a 3D pdf out of it. Our customer loved it that they could rotate it...zoom and even take measurements off the pdf. But they asked for the ref designators to be part of the STEP. I'm pretty sure it cant but figured let me ask here. No go right?

TIA!

    ProE will just show blocks until you get the models built for ProE.  That the way we do it here.  I actually build the schematic symbol, footprint and 3D model all at the same time.  Saves the mechanical guys a lot of time.
