Not all design work is done in Altium Designer. If you are new to Altium Designer, you will undoubtedly have designs in some other file format – either from an older Altium design solution, or some other EDA vendor tool. 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 created outside of Altium Designer. Supporting your need to work with design files in other formats and from other tools, install this plugin to import Mentor Graphics® DxDesigner® design and library files.
Import is performed using the
Import Wizard (
File»Import Wizard). The
Import Wizard will guide you through the steps involved when importing these types of files, including:
- Specifying DxDesigner project folders for processing.
- Specifying DxDesigner library folders for processing.
- Defining import control options - addition of linked libraries, conversion of gridded and hatched boxes, class attribute options.
