3D cad files from Eagle layout

autodeskguest

Does anyone know how to generate CAD 3D files (like STEP files or something)

from a board layout?

 

I have been using Eagle 3D, and it works great(!), but it only generates POV

files that I cannot use in our Pro/Engineer mechanics CAD system.

 

Best regards

  • It works!

     

    But it just gives me the outline of the board. No holes or anything. Right?

    I corrected, I've tried with an irregular board outline and it seem to

    working fine now.

    Could you try it once again.

    I've attached it with this post.

    Could you send to me an export VRML (*.wrl) of this "thing" from

    ProEngineer?

    Maybe the four wires of your board outline are not consecutive.

    Could you try to erase your board outline and redraw the four segments

    consecutively (as for a polygon).

     

    Anyway, I'll try to repair that problem, keep me posted.

    It does not work for me. I use ProEngineer import feature.

    The width of PCB looks right (1.6mm) but when it comes to sketching the

    PCB, it looks like a big 'Z' and it should be a rectangle.

    Dont know what is wrong.

    Hi!

     

    I wrote an ULP for IDF V3 (*.emn), but I dont know if it works because

    I

    didn't found an IDF viewer (free)...

    Please, could you try it and said me if it works, or not.

    Forgot to mention that I did try the ULP generate_3d_data.ulp, but it

    did

    not work. It gives me an error message first "no board-outline on

    layer

    50

    found" then about the ULP: Negative array index used.

     

    Has anyone else tried to make Mechanics CAD files from Eagle files?
