Export a layout to import it in an other CAD program

Former Member

Hello,

 

I have a problem with the DXF export in Eagle. I have to export a coil layout and import this layout in a CAD simulation program to determine different parameters. I used the DXF ULP and opened the file with the CAD-Program. Firstly, I wasn't able to import the coil with the wire width - there is only the winding path. But that's okay, because I can sweep the cross-section along the path - at least I thought so: the lines aren't connected (see the attached picture). What am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way to export the coil layout?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Best regards

Albert

    Hello,

     

    I have recently started using Eagle CAD for RF PCB design. I currently need to export my .brd layout file from Eagle to Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS).

     

    Any thoughts and suggestions on this would be appreciated.

     

    Many Thanks!

    Hi Hassan,

     

    I don't know what formats Agilent's ADS software can import, but check

    if it can import DXF files. If it can import those files then you can

    obtain them from EAGLE by using the cam2dxf.ulp or the dxf.ulp included

    with EAGLE.

     

    Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
