How To Create PCB from Profile in 3D Design, Then Insert PCB Into Same Design?

[techshopjim]

It seems like when I make a new Electronics Design from a profile in a 3D design, when I try to insert that new 3D PCB back into the original design, I can't do it because it causes a cyclical condition.

What's the best practice to do this?

Hi @techshopjim,

I hope you're doing well. In this workflow you have to create a new 3D Design and then insert the 3D PCB and the original 3D Design into this new one. In this way you sidestep the cyclical condition. I cover this workflow and the alternative EIP workflow in this video. Check it out when you have some time.
