Note:

If the Icepak Classic project contains an ECAD block, the ECAD file must exist as specified in the INFO file, or it must be included in the same directory as the .tzr file. If so, a PCB native component is created in the Electronics Desktop. If the file does not exist as specified, a 3D bounding box is created.
