ECAD Import (roundtrip) IDF - KEY: colors of changed components?


When we export to ECAD and they return a IDF file, the geometry gets highlighted differnt colors, really powerful functionality.


Here is our internal documentation below. We are really not sure what the Yellow is below, and all of these definitions are from our observations. Any insight or known documentation would be helpful! Thanks!


Once returned from ECAD (Allegro) The assembly will now be “re populated” with both the original (old) components and the updated (new) components.


You may notices that some components are in 4 solid colors, these colors have specific meanings


Fuchsia – New parts added to the schematic (Accept New / Reject New)


Blue - existing parts that have been moved (Replace / Keep)


Yellow – existing parts with a change to their shape (Replace Comp Geometry / Keep Comp Geometry)


Green – parts that have been removed from the schematic (Keep Missing / Delete Missing)



Any insight weould be helpful,




David T. Francis
