PCBto3D reads the IDF file and uses Solid Edge to create the corresponding 3D solid assembly. By using the IDF format, you can make changes to the board design in Solid Edge. This can be done using standard Solid Edge editing commands to modify the solid geometry and reposition parts and you can use PCB specific commands that are added to Solid Edge when PCBto3D™ is installed.

Backannotation
In addition to creating a Solid Edge model of a board design, PCBto3D™ also allows you to begin a board design in Solid Edge and pass the design to your PCB layout software. This allows you to define the shape of the board and position holes and key components in the context of the entire mechanical assembly, allowing you to avoid costly changes and errors that usually don’t show up until later in the design process.

Ease of Use
PCBto3D™ uses a wizard interface to guide you through the steps to create a 3D assembly model from the PCB design. Even though the process is simplified through the use of the wizard interface you still have complete control of what regions and placements are used in the 3D model.

In addition to a user friendly interface, PCBto3D™ is delivered with a comprehensive User's Guide and sample files, that lead you through the various ways to use PCBto3D™ using three step-by-step tutorials.
