Conversely, the mechanical designer can float change proposals back to the electrical designer, who can then import those changes back into their design. With this intermediate exchange file ( *.idx), an electrical designer can export only changes to the board design that are needed (and of value) by the mechanical designer. Such a method is provided through an XML-based exchange file format - IDX ( Incremental Design E Xchange format). One solution is to use a method of collaboration that enables the two to graphically communicate ideas and proposals for change, without leaving their trusty working environments. The electrical designer and mechanical designer often send emails back and forth, or have to dabble in each other's respective design tools - something that leaves them treading a little water, and far removed from their established comfort zones. But that collaboration isn't always smooth.
