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

  • You can import to the class and sub class of your choice. If you are going to use this dxf as a model fot creating a footprint you can import it to Board Geometry Dimension. Once imported you can use it as a guide to place yout pads. Caution : make sure you follow the manufacturers dimensions. Even with the dxf you will still need to design the pad stacks.

    I use the Mentor LP Wizard for footprint design.
