Collaboration Between PCB and Mechanical Design
印刷电路板与结构设计的合作
PADS Layout includes a collaboration tool that makes exchanging mechanical design
information between the PCB and mechanical teams a simplified and reliable process.
PADS Layout布局包括一个协作工具，使PCB和机械团队之间的结构设计信息交换成
为一个简化和可靠的过程。
You create change request files that highlight changes to the placement or design objects and
exchange that data with the mechanical designers. They can review the proposed changes, mark
them “accepted” or “rejected”, and then pass that information back to you. The change process
works in either direction so that either side can initiate a change request. The PADS Layout database
is automatically updated with any changes you accept from the mechanical designers.
创建更改请求文件，突出显示对放置或设计对象的更改，并与结构设计人员交换这些数
据。他们可以审查提议的更改，将其标记为“已接受”或“已拒绝”，然后将该信息传回给
您。变更过程在任何一个方向上工作，以便任何一方都可以启动变更请求。“PADS Layout
布
局”数据库将
自动更新为您从结构设计人员处接受的任何更改。
The tool works in conjunction with PADS 3D. The PADS 3D window allows you to preview
change requests in three dimensions and rotate the design through any angle or perspective. The
views in the PADS 3D window are useful for checking vertical (Z-axis) clearance problems or other
mechanical conflicts that might not be as apparent in the normal 2D workspace.
该工具与Pads 3D协同工作。Pads 3D窗口允许您以三维形式预览更改请求，并通过任
1
何角度或角度旋转设计。PADS 3D窗口中的视图可用于检查垂直（Z轴）间隙问题或其他可
能在正常二维工作空间中不明显的机械冲突。
Mechanical Design Exchange/
结构设计的变更
You start the exchange process by opening a collaboration session and submitting either a
baseline or a change data file to the mechanical design team (or they start the process by submitting
their data file to you). The baseline and change data files are in IDX format. The baseline file updates
the design with the changes; you do not have the option of rejecting the proposed changes in a
baseline file. The side receiving a change request has the option of either accepting or rejecting the
proposed changes. Either side can then create and submit additional change requests by sharing new
change data files.
您可以通过打开协作会话并向结构设计团队提交基线或变更数据文件（或者他们通过向
您提交数据文件来启动流程）来启动交换过程。基线和变更数据文件采用IDX格式。基线
文件用更改来更新设计；您不能拒绝基线文件中建议的更改。收到变更请求的一方可以选择
接受或拒绝提议的变更。然后，任何一方都可以通过共享新的更改数据文件来创建和提交其
他更改请求。
You exchange the data files either by E-mail or by storing them in a common directory
accessible by both teams. Either side can initiate a change, and the change request is approved or
rejected by the other side. The tool saves and tracks the status of each change request so you have a
continuous record of what was done. Once a change request has been sent and received, you can
close the collaboration session.
您可以通过电子邮件或将数据文件存储在两个团队都可以访问的公用目录中来交换数
据文件。任何一方都可以发起变更，变更请求被另一方批准或拒绝。该工具保存并跟踪每个
更改请求的状态，这样您就可以连续记录所做的操作。发送和接收更改请求后，可以关闭协
作会话。
Guidelines for Collaboration/
合作指南/合作指导方针
To avoid potential problems when you exchange data files, be aware of the following
guidelines:
为避免在交换数据文件时出现潜在问题，请注意以下准则：
Obstructs defined as “both side symmetrical” or “both side non-symmetrical” are not
supported.
不支持被定义为“两侧对称”或“两侧非对称”的障碍物。
If the mechanical design team changes the type or layer assignment for an obstruct, those
changes are not transmitted with the data file.
如果结构设计团队因障碍而更改类型或图层分配，则这些更改不会随数据文件一起
传输。
You must name (or rename) all components and part names so they do not contain spaces
or non-alphanumeric characters. If you send a data file to the mechanical design team that
has a space or a non-alphanumeric character in a name, those characters are automatically
replaced with underscores. These automatic changes in the names are then marked as
modifications even though no design change has actually occurred.
您必须命名（或重命名）所有组件和部件名称，以便它们不包含空格或非字母数字
字符。如果将数据文件发送给名称中有空格或非字母数字字符的结构设计团队，这
些字符将自动替换为下划线。这些名称的自动更改将被标记为修改，即使实际上没
有发生设计更改。

3D Overview
The PADS 3D window provides a three-dimensional rendering of your PCB layout, including
electronic components and mechanical assemblies (such as mounting brackets or connectors). This
three-dimensional representation allows you to examine the PCB construction, move and align
components, and check clearances between components on your PCB and adjacent assemblies (such
as EMI shields, heat sinks, and covers). The PADS 3D window also provides tools for aiding in the
design collaboration process with mechanical (MCAD) designers.
Pads 3D窗口提供了PCB布局的三维呈现，包括电子元件和机械组件（如安装支架或连
接器）。这种三维表示允许您检查PCB结构、移动和对齐组件，并检查PCB上的组件和相
邻组件（如EMI屏蔽、散热器和盖）之间的间隙。Pad3d窗口还提供了一些工具来帮助机械
（MCAD）设计师进行设计协作。

零件在焊盘3D中的放置
One of the primary purposes of the PADS 3D window is to allow you to view a three-
dimensional representation of your design to check clearances between components and
surrounding assemblies or mechanical parts in the X, Y, and Z direction.
PADS 3D窗口的主要用途之一是允许您查看设计的三维表示，以检查部件与周围组件
或X、Y和Z方向的机械零件之间的间隙。

However, if desired, you can synchronize the PADS 3D window with the two-dimensional
layout design view, meaning selecting and moving a part in one view updates the part’s position in
the other view. This synchronization feature becomes helpful if you choose to place parts in your
PCB design using the PADS 3D window as opposed to the standard two-dimensional layout design
view.
但是，如果需要，可以将Pads 3D窗口与二维布局设计视图同步，这意味着在一个视图
中选择和移动零件将更新零件在另一个视图中的位置。如果您选择使用Pads 3D窗口（而不
是标准的二维布局设计视图）在PCB设计中放置零件，则此同步功能将非常有用。
Using the PADS 3D window, you can assign or “map” 3D models to your parts and import
mechanical designs and assemblies, thereby giving them an accurate three-dimensional
representation (see “Assigning a 3D Model to a Component
”). You then have the option of saving
the 3D model mapping for re-use with other designs by saving it to the central library (for integrated
projects) or saving it to the Reuse folder location for a netlist project—see “
3D Model Mapping”.
Alternatively, you can keep it mapped to part in the PCB design only.
使用Pads 3D窗口，可以将三维模型指定或“映射”到零件，并导入机械设计和部件，
从而为它们提供精确的三维表示（请参见“将三维模型指定给组件”）。然后，您可以通过将
三维模型映射保存到中央库（对于集成项目）或将其保存到网络列表项目的重用文件夹位置
来选择保存三维模型映射，以便与其他设计一起重新使用。请参见“三维模型映射”。或者，
您可以将其仅映射到PCB设计中的零件。
For 3D model alignment, the PADS 3D window appears adjacent to the Decal Editor along
with the Align 3D Models dialog box (see “Align 3D Models Dialog Box
”). The Align 3D Models
dialog box provides you with the ability to align the pads of a 3D model with the pads of a part
decal, as displayed in the PADS 3D window.

对于三维模型对齐，贴花编辑器旁边会出现“Pads 3D”窗口以及“Align 3D Models”
对话框（请参见“Align 3D Models Dialog Box”）。“对齐三维模型”对话框使您能够将三维
模型的焊盘与零件贴花的焊盘对齐，如焊盘三维窗口中所示。
Clearance Checking Features
间隙检查功能
For checking clearances, the PADS 3D window provides options:
为了检查间隙，Pads 3D窗口提供了以下选项：
•
Manually check distances between a component and a point on the PCB or an assembly
using the “Measure Distance” and “Measure Minimum Distance” features. This option is especially
useful when aligning a 3D model with decal pads.
•
使用“测量距离”和“测量最小距离”功能手动检查部件与PCB或组件上的点之
间的距离。此选项在将三维模型与贴花垫对齐时特别有用。
•
Perform automatic design rule checking across the entire design through the use of 3D
clearances Design Rule Checks (DRC).
通过使用三维间隙设计规则检查（DRC），在整个设计中执行自动设计规则检查。
The 3D Clearances section in Constraint Manager allows you to define 3D clearances for use
in DRC (the “Any to Any” value is modified only through the Constraint Manager). You can also
add additional clearance—or a clearance exception—to individual components through the 3D
Clearances dialog in the PADS 3D window.
Constraint Manager中的“3D间隙”部分允许您定义在DRC中使用的3D间隙（仅通过
Constraint Manager修改“任意对任意”值）。您还可以通过Pads 3D窗口中的“3D间隙”对
话框向各个组件添加额外间隙或间隙例外。
Note:
请注意
If you have set up your layout project as a netlist project, the Constraint Manager is not
available; use the 3D Clearances dialog in the PADS 3D window for defining your 3D clearances.
如果已将布局项目设置为网络列表项目，则约束管理器不可用；请使用PADS 3D窗口
中的“三维间隙”对话框定义三维间隙。
MCAD Collaboration MCAD协作
To aid in the collaboration effort with mechanical designers, the PADS 3D window features
the MCAD Collaborator, a tool for tracking and annotating design change proposals. With the
MCAD Collaborator, you can establish an initial or “baseline” design with the mechanical designers.
When you make a change from the baseline layout design (for instance, you move a part), the
MCAD Collaborator lists the affected part as a change proposal and allows you to exchange the
proposal with the mechanical design team as an .idx file. Upon acceptance from the mechanical
designers, the proposal becomes the new baseline.
为了帮助与机械设计人员进行协作，PADS 3D窗口提供了MCAD合作者，一种跟踪和
注释设计变更建议的工具。通过MCAD合作者，您可以与机械设计人员建立初始或“基线”
设计。当从基线布局设计进行更改（例如，移动零件）时，MCAD合作者将受影响的零件列
为更改建议，并允许您将建议作为.idx文件与机械设计团队交换。一旦机械设计人员接受，
该建议就成为新的基准。

查看3D视图及导入元器件模型的方法
PCB的3D视图可以让设计者直接看到实物的效果，不仅可以减少空间上犯错的可能，
而且3D视图渲染的独特效果在写文档和宣传中效果都不错，所以就记录一下PADS的3D
视图功能以及如何给PCB中的元器件添加3D模型。
首先是如何查看PCB的3D视图，可以点击“查看”-->“3D视图”-->“动态视图”，就会弹
出一个3D视图的窗口，如下图所示：
34
3D视图窗口的工具栏介绍如下图所示：
35
上图可以看出只是PCB板有3D，元器件都没有立体的模型，这是因为元器件的3D需
要自己手动设置，有两种方法：简单的立体模型和实物3D模型。
简单的立体模型就是在元器件的高度属性，右击元器件选择属性，在属性窗口的“组”
中选择Geometry，然后在右侧点击“添加”按钮，选择Height属性，值为器件的高度，比如
1mm。点击关闭退出属性窗口，即可在3D视图中看到元器件J1的立体块。如下图所示：
36
以上就是简单的立体模型，长宽是根据丝印来确定，高度在元器件属性中进行设置，可
以满足要求不高的3D视图。
37
实物3D模型是通过导入元器件的模型来实现，这个导入的模型可以从网上下载，如果
自己会3D设计，也可以自己设计。点击“File”会有三种导入的方式，“Auxiliary File Import”
是导入外壳模型，如果最终PCB是要放在一个外壳里面的，可以导入这个外壳的模型，可
以看出我们的PCB是否和这个外壳契合，这里我们就不过多讲解了。“3D Cell Import”是给
某个元器件导入3D模型，这个是我们需要使用的。“Batch Import 3D Cells”是批量导入3D
模型，这个我们一般不使用。如下图所示：
我们选择“3D Cell Import”弹出元器件模型导入窗口，Cell Name是选择需要设置的元器
件，3D File选择需要导入的模型，Scale是缩放比例，Rotate可以旋转模型，Offset可以设
置原点的偏移，中间有视图调整，右侧为预览视图。如下图所示：
在Cell Name中选好元器件（电阻RES）之后，点击3D File右侧的浏览按键选择对应
的3D模型文件。3D模型文件支持的后缀有e3d、wrl、obj、stl，这里只测试过wrl和stl格
式的，stl格式的模型颜色不能正常显示，而wrl格式的可以正常显示颜色，建议大家使用
wrl格式的，如下图所示：
38
我们发现上图模型的原点和元器件的原点不一样，可以通过Offset进行调整，调整好之
后如下图所示：
39
点击Apply之后就可以在3D视图中看到对应元器件的3D模型，这里我们分别导入stl
格式和wrl格式的文件，可以看到stl格式的颜色显示不了，而wrl格式的可以显示。在导
入wrl格式文件的时候，发现模型视角和元器件不统一，可以通过Rotate进行调整。如下图
所示：
40
stl和wrl格式文件的效果图如下图所示：
41
其他元器件的3D模型导入的操作一样，如果有视图和原点不一致的可以通过Rotate和
Offset进行调整。对于元器件J1没有找到对应的3D模型所以就用简单的立体模型代替了，
最后的效果如下图所示：
42
43
以上就是PADS查看PCD的3D视图以及导入元器件模型的方法
