ECAD matter

    Hello,
    I have a problem when communicating from Pro/E (WF2) to layout design (using
    Mentor).
    In the IDF-standard, they specify an area called ".other_outline" for
    soldermask-areas where you want to specify an EMC-shield (for example). But
    at my company our mcad-standard says we should use "Place Region" for this
    purpose. Now the layout-people do not accept this, so I must manually change
    this info in the IDF-file (change .PLACE_REGION to .OTHER_OUTLINE).

    Shouldn't it be a function for this in Pro/E in order to meet the
    IDF-standard? Or is there any other idea how to make a correct IDF-file
    without this manually work? (Sometimes you still want to use a mixed model
    with both .place_region and .other_outline so auto-search-and-modify is not
    an option...)

    Thankful for ideas... /// Martin
