Can this library part be made?

layout4me

I need a library part of a LED from LED Engin part LZ4-00MA00

http://www.ledengin.com/products/emitters#LZ4

There is a dxf file available on the website.

When  I use the import-dxf.ulp  I can't get polygons... only wires.

 

Do I have to switch to another PCB layout program that has the ability to make any library part I wish to use?

 

Any help would be helpfull.

    You can make what ever you want. See How to make a custom library part in Eagle CAD tool

    Did you look at the land patterns that are in the attached pdf?

    I don't need round or rectangular pads....  that is easy

     

    Hoping for a better answer...

    Sorry did not know of attached because my in box never shows. But did you use the ULP dxfimport? If so, there are limitations of supported types especially splines. Please read Import DXF file in Eagle Pro 6.2.0. I know it is old, but I have not seen new features since then.shabaz mentioned using inkscape (freeware) because it is good at reading DXF and can convert to HPGL format.

    Yes it can be made.. Use a small smd pad and a polygon to make the

    shape. It will be a bit tricky but very possible.

     

    If you got the wires, you could try writing an ulp to convert wires to

    polygons, it shouldnt be that hard.

    The hard bit is writing the ulp to adjust for the width of the wire you

    will use for the polygon. The dxf import will give a zero width wire at

    the outline of the custom pad so unless you bring it in half the width

    of the polygon wire width, the polygon will be oversize which matters as

    the scale of components reduce.

    You can use led.lbr -> package LZ4-40U600.PAC from device LZ4-40U600.DEV
