QR Barcode

Wild

Hi Folks!
New request from the boss, they want to add QR Barcodes to our PCB's.  Did a little searching and I haven't found a solution that works well for 16.6.  Does anyone have ideas?
I can create them as a dxf and bring them in, but not all the shapes are filled in.  I can do this manually, be it's a PIA.

Thanks in advance,

Wild

    i usually create a gerber file for bar codes then import it.

    for importing dxf files, u need to convert lines to shapes.

    TY for the reply.  I understand the dxf conversions and the steps that will need to be done.
    I prefer not to edit the gerbers, there always last minute changes that seem to be required after I create the artwork, I would rather do it in Allegro.

    There is a tool from FlowCAD, but it costs.....  My boss doesn't like to spend $

    The import using logo maker is not usable.

    Looks like I will need do the dxf in and creat filed shapes as needed.

    Many thanks,

    Wild
