Exporting .IDL/.IDB files from EAGLE

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

I'm trying to export my board design into a .IDL/.IDB format to use in a 3D CAD package. I've been searching for .ulp's and .src's for EAGLE and no hits found on the EAGLE help or on google. Does this function actually exsist? CAn anyone recommend further steps?

    Do you mean with the file extensions the IDF format?

    For the IDF format, there is a viable export solution for Eagle by ULP.

    Refer to the Cadsoft Downlods for "generate_3d_data ."

    Hi Tronicus,

     

    See the following ULPs up on the website:

     

    generate_3d_data_v08.ulp

    generate_3d_data.zip

    generate_3d_data_eng.pdf manual for above ULP.

     

    Best Regards,
