碩士 === 中原大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 104 === Since the rapid development of 3C industry and economy, the product design cycle must be short as possible. For many companies, electronic and mechanical design is very important. The integration of electronic and mechanical design will improve the speed of product design. Mechanic Computer-Aided Design (MCAD) and Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) have exchangeable information transfer format, which is Intermediate Data format (IDF). This format can describe the appearance of circuit-board, parts data, PCB design information and other graphic information. Because the format can be transferred, the speed of producing the IDF is relative important. Therefore, the generation of the maximum high space on PCB determines the overall efficiency. In this study, using IDF 3.0 and Pro / ENGINEER as secondary development tools, there is a simple user interface to connect the parameters and relations and cooperate with User-Defined Feature (UDF), so that the space information can be established. The space information will display by different features like solid and sketch outline, which will help users design maximum high space replacing the traditional method. These can assist users effectively simplify the process and reduce the redundant actions, so the design process will be faster and decrease the errors. Through this study, the design time can save more than 73.1% to improve product development efficiency.
