Can DXF files be imported for a board shape? I guess to layer 46?
Thanks
Mike
Only with Eagle PCB Power Tools. You can find it in the download area of
cadsoft.

In CadSoft's download pages take a look at dxf2scr.zip. I've used this in
the past to convert DXF files to import into EAGLE. If I recall I think
you have to save out your AutoCad file in AutoCad 2000 or earlier. Also,
make sure that you change the board outline in AutoCad from polyline to
segments. There is also another ULP that I haven't used - dxf2scr-1.zip.
It looks like it might be a graphic interface program.
You are right! This programm works great. I have checked it and it is
working well.
I have converted Neutrik NC3 connector as a test.

I looked at those. I really wanted to put the file in layer 46 but didn''t
see a way to do this in these 2. I downloaded the PCB power tools ( as a
demo) it put the file in layer 46 but not with all/or correct shapes. Might
just be the demo version ( I've got a email in to the sales rep.) It is a
shame Eagle has to have an external companys software to do some drawing.
Drawing (cad) in Eagle is tedious at best ( no triming, copying, offset etc)
and drawing parts and boards is cad intensive. But anyhow I'll wait for an
answer from the sales dept at PCB power tools. And maybe an answer or two
from here.
