DXF import into brd file

Carvey
Carvey over 16 years ago

Having trouble with this. I have created an array outline with dimensions and data for vendor in Autocad and exported out a DXF file.

Trying to import file into to existing brd file.

I have created a new class (manufacturing),sub-class (araay_panel) for this data to reside on.

I select the import dxf, select dxf file (from Autocad), select the conversion file, select class, sub-class.

Map, select ok.

It says completed but the dxf data is not added to brd file on the selected layers. in fact it is not on any existing layer.

I have read the help file on this and have tried 3 times without any success.

Can someone offer any advice on what I'm not doing right?

thanks
