ECAD Parent Skeleton

The skeleton of the EcadParent assembly. ECAD Board Inlay places the inlay on its INLAY_MATE coordinate system.

The EcadParent skeleton is the skeleton part of the EcadParent assembly. ECAD Board Inlay uses it as the placement reference for the inlay. ECAD Board Name renames it when it is present.

Which commands use it

Command

How it uses this model

ECAD Board Inlay

Uses the first skeleton on the EcadParent. Assembles the inlay to the coordinate system INLAY_MATE on this skeleton.

ECAD Board Name

Optional rename target. If there is no skeleton, the rename skips it.

What must already exist

Required for ECAD Board Inlay:

  • The EcadParent must have at least one skeleton component. If none is found, the command stops.

  • That skeleton must have a coordinate system named INLAY_MATE. Without it, the inlay has nowhere to mate.

Choosing an inlay model only checks the inlay itself (it must contain INLAY_MTG). The skeleton is a requirement of the EcadParent, checked when the command starts.

Optional

  • ECAD Board Name does not require a skeleton. If one exists, it is renamed to match the assembly name plus _SKEL.

What CadActive creates

These commands do not create the skeleton or INLAY_MATE. Board Inlay only uses them. Board Name only renames the skeleton.
