An issue that I am running up against is the need for a pcb to physically interface to a mechanical object.
The mechanical object is typically designed in Autocad (though it could be any mechanical cad package). I would like to have the ability to import/export dxf (or dwg?) files from/to pcb files. Silk screen outlines is what I am thinking for now. In the future, it could be a seperate pcb layer. Has anyone else attempted this? A little research has turned up two gpl libraries which support the dxf file format. Both are written for C++ (http://www.coin3d.org/lib/dime/ and dxflib which is used(part of?) qcad. This is a this weeks issue for me so if you have any insite please respond quickly. Thanks, Steve Meier
