DXF to Eagle Conversion

ericsonmn

I have imported a DXF file into Eagle 7.7.0 Ultimate that has some irregular shape electrodes.  The file imports just fine into the Eagle PCB editor (import DXF function) and the dimensions are correct.  The imported electrode structures are composed of polylines.  I need to convert these polylines into a single polygon that can be filled to form an electrode.  Redrawing over the imported outline to form a polygon is not a good option due to the odd shape.  Can anyone tell me how to convert a closed path of polylines into a polygon that can be filled?  Thanks!

    finding/writing an URL to do the job is one possibility.

     

    Or you could have a look at the XLM in the board file and try to

    manipulate it by hand.

    Look for differences between wires and polygons  and  plain and

    signal.

    A third option would be to edit the intermediate script file by hand.
