DXF output

OLY29
OLY29 over 17 years ago

We add custom properties from the schematic to layout on our connectors. We label all of our connectors and it gets passed to layout. The text outputs to the getber files but not to the DXF output. Is there some way to output this text in DXF output? I have looked at the INI file and have tried to add all the thing I can think of to make the text output in DXF but I haven't had much success.

    Hi

    You need to ensure that the subclass your labels are on are visible in the design before you export the dxf, i.e board geometry outline will be mapped to a dxf layer of the same name. The dxf converter will only output what is displayed. To check look at the layer conversion file before you create the dxf file.

    Regards

    Steve
