Not all design work is done in Altium Designer. If you are new to Altium Designer, you will undoubtedly have numerous designs existent in some other format – either from an older Altium design solution or some other EDA vendor tool altogether. Even if you are an existing user of Altium Designer day-in, day-out, there may be times where you are presented with a design arising from outside of Altium Designer. Supporting your need to work with design files in other formats and from other tools, install this plugin to import a nominated AutoCAD DXF or DWG file into an open and active PCB document.
Import is performed using the
File»Import command. As part of the import, you can control settings such as layer mappings, donut-to-pad conversion, default line width and scale.
