How can I import a PC board outline and component placement from a CAD program

autodeskguest over 16 years ago

I'm designing a front panel for a project I'm playing with, the front

panel is pretty tight in terms of tolerance due to restricted space so

the PCB tghat fits to the back of it must be accurately shaped and fitted.

I have a finished CAD model of the front panel and from that I have an

outline for the PC board that I want to import into Eagle.

How can I import a DXF or some other common CAD format into EAGLE to

save me having to redraw the dimensions from another drawing ?

Any help appreciated (I'm using Alibre CAD if it makes any diffference)

Thanks,

Peter
