This is because a changed board thickness can affect clearances between 3D Models and a board assembly. It is necessary to define a Layer Stack for the Collaboration design before placing 3D Models and mounting holes on the Creo side. A new board outline will be applied to the PCB Board in the main PCB Editor. To accept a change, check it in the Accept column and click Accept.A table with list of changes between the Altium PCB design and Creo board assembly will be displayed in the Collaboration panel. Next, add a new PCB document to the project and save it, open the Collaboration panel and click Pull. Select File » Open Managed Project, choose an appropriate project and open it. Then go to Altium NEXUS and sign in to the Collaboration server.Now all collaboration data are downloaded to the collaboration server. Open Collaboration panel on the Creo side, click the Push button, add a comment if needed and click Post.To synchronize the ECAD design side with the newly created Creo assembly: First synchronization of Altium NEXUS PCB document with Creo board assembly.Collaboration panel » cogwheel icon » Models Library Folder.Ī first synchronization with Altium NEXUS to transfer the board thickness and MCAD origin is highly recommended at this step. (optional) Specify a local storage of exported 3D Models.The NEXUS server URL (Server Address) will be supplied by your IT department. If you are not signed in, the Altium CoDesigner panel will automatically display sign in fields after clicking the CoDesigner button on the Ribbon. Sign in to a Collaboration server (NEXUS server).(optional) Specify a 3D Model search path: see the PCB Editor – Models page in the Preferences dialog.► Learn more about logging in to a server Login to a Collaboration server (NEXUS server).All collaboration activities are performed through this panel. The Creo application Ribbon will include an Altium section with a CoDesigner button, click this to show / hide the Altium Collaboration panel. The Collaboration plugin is now installed, automatically un-locked and registered in the PTC Creo installation. Complete each page of the installation Wizard.Run the installer AltiumCoDesignerPtcCreo_Installer.exe.
