Resizing DXF file

marekmat

Hello everyone.

I want to add a logo of my company to a PCB board.

At first, I converted a PNG file into a DXF file not to lose quality and imported it into OrCAD. I create it as a mechanical symbol.

Everything seems to be good except dimensions. The image has dimensions of 2000 x 1000 mm. Is it possible to resize the image without losing quality? 

I tried to resize a png file and then into a DXF file, but the quality is awful and that didn't work.

For now, I've imported a DXF file that has big dimensions.

    Logos are often created using Adobe Illustrator.   Illustrator CC exports DXFs as easy as a PNG.   Check with marketing?

    Can't think of a reason why the marketplace would keep apps on the store that don't work with 17.X. 

    Side note:  I'm worried 16.6x will be dead if it won't work on Windows 11 and Windows10 goes away.   Mentor won't update their PADS/Expedition translator written for 16.3, which won't run or install on Windows10.   So...  

    If you have a clean DXF of your logo, check out Dassault DraftSight, a 2D drafting package import/exports DXF/DWG files of many different flavors.  Cleans up DXF exports and edits/scales drawings. 

    Dassault fixes bugs, making it actually worth the $99 annual license fee.  Online license fulfillment.
