Ultimately, this level of collaboration and integration brings harmony to the overall design process - a process that while traversing these two distinct parallel paths, ultimately delivers a single product to market. Conversely, the mechanical designer can float change proposals back to the electrical designer, who can then import those changes back into their design. With this upgrade, an electrical designer can export changes to the board design that are needed (and of value) by the mechanical designer. The MCAD Co-Designer: SOLIDWORKS® extension upgrade is engineered specifically for collaboration with SOLIDWORKS®. ► Learn more about Altium's latest ECAD-MCAD CoDesign technology Now available as an add-in for SOLIDWORKS version 2018 and higher, the new CoDesigner supports: bi-directional transfer of complex board shapes with cutouts bi-directional transfer of placed components as 3D models MCAD to ECAD transfer of native components and support for rigid-flex PCBs. Altium continues to develop MCAD-to-ECAD CoDesign capabilities.
