Pro/Engineer Hint Map Generation Tool

A user can navigate to, and upload one or more IDF files containing the PCB information from many different ECAD tools. These files must have an .emn extension.
The tool gathers emn file data and simplifies the information into a tabular format. The columns containing the quantity, ecad_name and ecad_alt_name are automatically populated. The Pro/E name column can have entries populated by uploading an existing ecad_hint.map file. Non-essential data is immediately discarded.
The user populates the "Pro/E name" column as required. Through the tool, the user can search for an appropriate replacement 3D model on our site. After selecting that model, the Pro/E name field is auto-populated. If the user has a model of their own, that model name can be typed into the field.
An existing ecad_hint.map file can be uploaded to the Hint Map Tool. The tool will identify the PCB Components that already have an ecad_hint.map entry allowing the user to focus on the components that still require a replacement 3D Pro/Engineer Model.
The output of the tool is an ecad_hint.map file. This data links the electrical information exported from the ECAD tool to replacement 3D models in Pro/Engineer.
The user is prompted to download the ecad_hint.map file as well as the 3D replacement models that were chosen. Entries from an ecad_hint.map file uploaded during the user session will also be in the new downloaded file.
