Importing a .DXF file (attached in this post) in Allegro

RFStuff

 Dear All,

I  am using Allegro 16.2. I want to import a .DXF file ( attached in this post).

Basically it is a package symbol layout with mechanical holes.

I am confused in setting the layer mapping.

Could anybody please go through this file and tell me what to be done to import this file so that no informations in it is missed.

 

Kind Regards,

SBT-QFN-4006_layout.DXF.tar.gz

  • RF,

     I down loaded and unpacked your dxf and was able to import it tp allegro with no issues. Here is how I did it :

    1 - From the file menu select import dxf.

    2 - When the dialog box opens click the browse button and select the dxf

    3 - Select units : inches (we work in inches)

    4 - check incremental addition

    5 - click edit/view layers

    6 - select the class and sub class you want. (I selected package geometry and assembly top)

    7 - click ok, then import

     

    In it came.

     

    Here is the .cnv file that was created :

     #This is the Layer Conversion File used for
    #importing DXF data into Allegro/APD.

    #CLASS!            SUBCLASS!                 DXF_LAYER!

    PACKAGE GEOMETRY!
                       ASSEMBLY_TOP!             0!

    #END

    Hope this helps.
