Exporting 3D IDF

Goblin59

 All,

A customer wanted to know if we can export 3D IDF files from our layout. I'm using Allegro 16.2 and it seems an easy matter to genrate IDF. Isn't an iDF file 3D just by nature? When we create artwork, don't we pass this info along? Dimensioning is provided and conductor/dielectric width is specified. Any input will be great.

     It's better to start a new thread on a new topic -- you'll get better help.

    The imported layers are mapped through the layer conversion you should have set up.  If nothing is happening you might have a scaling problem or the DXF data is not parsable correctly by Allegro.
