collaborate SW and AD

Alexander Matuzov Apr 17, 2018 1:07 PM

Hello, we use SW 2017 sp4.1 and AD 17.1.9 so we want to collaborate via Solidworks PCB connector. When i download PCB connector Add-inn from AD repository it ask me enter Solidworks PCB connector for Altium key. Can i only buy key for Altium connector, w/o Solidworks PCB. Our VAR can`t answer this question.

And another question is how export parameters in MCAD from altium. So I activate demo version of connector and there is a setting: "Export component parameters" but when we try export some info about ecad component to SW like description etc nothing is happen.

Hi,

Have you tried upgrading to SW 2017 SP5? If you're running the SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector 2017 it's recommended that you have 2017 SP5 in order for everything to work as it should.

If you have Professional or Premium you can use CircuitWorks at no additional cost. If you want the full blown SW/Altium collaboration you need a separate license from SW.
