Importing DXF files

RonScott

Greetings,

I've done this a million times but in version 16.5 S025, it doesn't seem to cooperate. I'm bring in a file created from SolidWorks and I can import to a file but everything seems to be dead. I have some artifacts that I can't get rid of and I have no 0,0 info. The only thing I can do is eliminate some stray line segments.Anyone have any experience with this? I've attached a pict to what I have. Thanks.

    • We can also try to import the IPF file,for this
    • first set perticular UNIT in boardfile
    • import the dxf file,while importing set the UNIT same as in ur board file
    • select the dxf file which you want import to your Board
    • Also select Layer convension file
    • Click on EDIT/VIEW LAYERS
    • In that window enable Select All and also select reuired  CLASS and SUBCLASS.  Eg: Class:Board Geometry  S.class:Dimension, then IMPORT the dxf.
    • After Importing SAVE that file
    • Then FILE.....>EXPORT.........>IPF
    • Now select the board for which u want to import IPF file
    • After that FILE------>IMPORT ----->IPF.
    • While importing ENABLE Class:Board Geometry  S.class:Dimension.
