Altium MCAD CoDesigner 3.5.0: New Features and Enhancements
New harness synchronization capability. This allows engineers to push the harness definition from ECAD to MCAD, where the mechanical engineer can define the cable routing through the enclosure and the connections to the printed circuit boards. The 3D harness definition can then be pushed back from MCAD to ECAD as part of the multi-board assembly. The physical length of wires, cables, and harness segments is assigned to the corresponding Harness entities in ECAD.
Multi-board assembly support for PTC Creo. This allows electrical and mechanical engineers to collaborate on the design of multi-board assemblies, including the synchronization of boards, mechanical enclosure, and 3D harness routing.
Other enhancements. These include improved processing of component models, working with workspace folders, and support for the new versions of MCAD software.
