We currnetly use CIP to manage part information with EDM managed projects, symbols and footprints.
Most of the time we draw part information from CIP distributor search, which can auto-fill certain properties like ratings, part value, and height property.
We would like to take advantage of having height properties set for passive components, and link the property to automatically populate 3D model with accurate height representation for PCBs
I have followed this thread for in order to do this, and this works for the Allegro 3D Canvas. However the MCAD export does not reflect this and sets equal heights for each footprints.
3D Canvas view:
Exported 3D model:
Notice that R415 and C417 in the Canvas both have same 0805 footprint with different height definiition, but exported model do not.
How can this be resolved so that the exported models have accurate (varying) height representation for passive components?
