IDF Export to Solidworks (Holes not appearing)

JasonSn

I've been generating IDF and PTC for Solidworks import but plates/non-plated holes are not importing. I've tried with/without filter, and version 2.0/3.0.

I have been having trouble with both pins and vias (I have only included the vias as a test). If I open the emn or ldf, I can see them defined.

Could "ECAD" designation versus "PLACED" be an issue? I don't know how that is determined

MEC_HOLE0320CU0800_CL6 MEC_HOLE0320CU0800 PH7
55.0000 194.2000 0.0000 0.000 TOP ECAD

I get the following warning, as well

WARNING: More than one place bound shape defines the outline of MEC_HOLE0320CU0800_CL6.

  An overall place bounding box was exported instead.
