DXF Import

Former Member

I have been unsuccessful trying to import a relatively simple dxf file into Eagle 5.11. I have tried 3 3rd party tools/scripts: demo version of DXF to Eagle Script Converter 2.3.3 (from Falk Stricker's Eagle PCB Power Tools), dxf2Eagle.exe version 1_14_3 (at http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/61385), and import_dxf_polygons.ulp (from Eagle website, downloads section). Only the demo version of DXF to Eagle Script Converter 2.3.3 was able to import fragments (which weren't coherent) of the .dxf. The other two tools could not import the .dxf after trying several different export options from Solid Works. I can view the .dxf in Solid Works eDrawings. I was able to import a test .dxf into all three Eagle .dxf tools/scripts.

 

Can someone advise on a reliable, fully functional DXF import tool for Eagle 5.11? I know Eagle 5.11 comes standard with the import DXF script; am I missing the export DXF script somewhere?

 

Thanks.

Jeff

    Hi Bruce,

     

    Thanks for finding my oversight, I use a debug.ulp which allows to me to

    debug my ULP code. I forgot to remove the include for it, and that's why

    you're seeing the issue. Sorry about the oversight, I've uploaded a fix

    version right now so it should be up by tomorrow.

     

    If there is a spline the ULP will ignore it since it can't process it.

    You don't have to worry about removing it from the file.

     

    Sorry again.

     

    Best Regards,
