Hi Steve, If there is some sort of importer HID template available ;-)
Methinks I know enough of the DXF fileformat to write such an importer. OTOH, I do not know enough of pcb how to do the import of entities "directly" (on the fly). Maybe an intermediate solution would be to write a stand alone (CLI?) translator and after translation add the entities with "File/Load layout data to paste-buffer". One question that comes to mind is: what do we want to import ? Would that be traces, outlines, keepouts, artwork, ... or all sorts of other (2D) stuff. First, I want to make some more advance with the DXF exporter, it still has a series of bugs to be squashed before it behaves stable. Kind regards, Bert Timmerman.
