Creating Mechanical CAD Design Files
To create a new mechanical CAD design, you can either use the new design
that appears when you create a mechanical CAD file, or you can create a
new design and assign it to an existing file. To create a new design and
assign it to an existing file:
1. Open the file that the new design is to be added to.
2. Choose File»New Design. The New Design dialog box appears.
3. Type the design name in the Design name field.
4. From the Design type drop-down list, select Mechanical CAD.
5. Indicate the file where the design is to added. The drop-down list
shows only the open files. To include this design in another project,
open the file so that it appears in the Add to project drop-down list.
6. Click OK. The New Design dialog box disappears, and a blank
mechanical CAD design with the name that you specified is opened as
a separate window.
The Projects tab shows the mechanical CAD design is a part of the
open project that you specified during the design’s creation the dialog
box. In the example shown below, “test” is the mechanical CAD
design.
Note Mechanical CAD designs can be part of a project containing PCB designs. Project
files are independent of design file types.
