寂静天花板

智能系统设计自动化、3D PCB 设计解决方案 (Altium Designer®)、ECAD设计数据管理(Altium Vault®)和嵌入式软件开发（TASKING®）的全球领导者Altium有限公司近日宣布与达索系统签署OEM协议，共同推出基于Altium PCB 软件技术的全新SOLIDWORKS PCB。
Altium 首席执行官Aram Mirkazemi先生表示：“此次达索系统选择Altium的PCB软件技术，是对Altium市场领导地位最有力的认可。同时，这也证明Altium已经被行业领导者视为PCB设计软件的未来。”

此次Altium与达索系统的技术合作旨在通过电子CAD与机械CAD（MCAD）软件环境间设计数据的本地连接，实现机械与电子设计团队间的无缝协作。

ECAD与MCAD之间的协作始终是困扰工程师们的一个重要难点。随着一系列智能连接产品的诞生，电子与机械设计间的界线逐渐模糊。为了配合SOLIDWORKS，Altium基于Altium designer这个强大的统一设计平台设计了solidworks PCB的界面与功能，从而实现在原生形式下兼容SOLIDWORKS的数据架构。这一设计将造就一个独一无二的平台solidworks PCB，并将智能产品设计的生产力提升至前所未有的水平。

很赞啊。正为这个问题发愁呢。

As a new and emerging product, one of the first characteristics users will notice is the “face” of SOLIDWORKS PCB。
It has a very modern and easy to use design environment, which promotes a smooth and intuitive workflow throughout the entire electrical and mechanical design process.

外媒评论solidworks PCB   标题：MCAD+ECAD and Intelligent Lifecycle  机械CAD 电气CAD与智能生命周期
The time when you product was a piece of machinery is over. These days, every product is a combination of at least 3 elements – mechanical, electronic and embedded software. It usually comes together with an additional piece of software (mobile or cloud). Welcome to the reality of multi-disciplinary data and smart products!

Technology is easy. People are hard. When it comes to management of mult-disciplinary data, think first about people who are in charge of all these pieces of information. There are multiple levels of integration between multi-disciplinary data. It can be 3D model level integration. A typical example of bringing 3D models of electronic components such as PCB design into MCAD tools. Another dimension of multi-disciplinary data is integrated bill of materials. Technical difficulties and disagreement between people often can lead to problems in establishment of cohesive multi-disciplinary data management solutions. PLM fails to provide a way to manage multi-disciplinary BOM and changes. High-tech and electronic industry is specific because of high diversity of design tools – mechanical, electronic, software. PLM tools are not integrated well with design tool, which leads to poor BOM management – limit of tools, complexity integration between tools provided by multiple suppliers.
PLM整合多学科数据的困难性

In the past, the MCAD-ECAD collaboration headache was a simple communication problem: To come up with a neutral file format that lets each discipline transmit its respective design to the other. But to design a connected device, where the outer shell and the internal parts must fit like hand and glove, the two sides must work together closer than ever before.
过去，机械CAD与电气CAD协作沟通困难，所以才有中间文件格式。

A format like IDF (intermediate data format), which is supported by most industry-standard software from both sides, removes the communication barrier between MCAD and ECAD disciplines, but many experts feel a new lingua franca is needed. EDMD (electrical design mechanical design) is a protocol championed by ProSTEP iViP, an international association that develops and defines standards for product data management and virtual product creation. “It’s actively maintained, so we meet with other CAD and ECAD vendors monthly or bimonthly to develop it to include what the modern designers need,” says Eckhoff.
像IDF这样的文件格式，支持多数行业标准软件。打破机械CAD与电气CAD沟通障碍。但是新的通用语言是必要的，

At the core of PCBWorks is a set of powerful schematic capture and PCB layout tools along with an easy-to-use interface that works in tandem with existing mechanical workflows in SolidWorks. Design data between components and mechanical enclosures are linked seamlessly between electrical and mechanical workflows, with the world’s first-ever managed Engineering Change Orders (ECO) process delivering changes in design data from SolidWorks to PCBWorks using native SolidWorks files.

What will be a trajectory of integrated development between Altium and Solidworks? Will it lead to more advanced design system integration beyond SOLIDWORKS? Will Dassault Systemes decide to acquire Altium to create MCAD+ECAD bundle? These are all good questions to ask…
EDA vendors and vision of intelligent lifecycle
To solve design information exchange is very important. But what is next? How multi-disciplinary design will connect into the process of manufacturing, services, maintenance. These are questions usually asked by MCAD companies bringing a concept of PLM to manage overall product lifecycle.

& d0 C; T7 Z/ B& M* {3 M6 j2 mWhat is my conclusion? Modern products are creating significant amount of complex design and manufacturing planning challenges. The core cause of that is in an increased product complexity, integration of multi-disciplinary data, introduction of IoT and connected technologies. Distributed manufacturing makes the design and manufacturing planning even more complex. Software vendors will be forced to think outside of a traditional silos to solve these problems. Just my thoughts..
现代产品是创建大量的复杂的设计和制造计划的挑战。核心原因是产品复杂性增加,多学科的集成数据,引入物联网和连接技术。分布式制造设计和制造规划更加复杂。软件供应商将被迫跳出传统的束缚来解决这些问题

如何设置solidworks PCB 图层颜色
SOLIDWORKS PCB Board layers and colours can be easily configured by using the View Configurations tools. This tool can be found under View > Switch to 3D > View Configurations > View Configuration, or by simply clicking on the bottom left “LS” button (Layer Sets). This will open the View Configurations manager that we can now use to control different board and layer colours.
View Configurations
We can choose to hide or show and layer by using the checkboxes as well as change layer colours by simply clicking on the colour column and changing that specific layer colour.
: {& K+ y0 W, s# L! wIf for example we would like to change the board area colour itself from black to a dark green, as well as making some changes to our signal layers to make the visibility clearer.
