dwg/dxf into schematic document

slowertech

Does anyone know if it is possible to import a dwg or dxf into a schematic drawing?

 

Thanks

  • Do you mean into a PCB document?  The PCB has an import function for DWG and DXF but I don't know what restrictions such as versions it can accept.  This function brings up a window to Import from AutoCAD and you enter the layer mappings and scale.

     

    If you attempt to import a DWG or DXF into a schematic it will instead open a PCB document and attempt the import.

    Thanks

     

    I have been using the PCB import for irregular board shapes.

    I was hoping to import some connectors for documenting a cable assembly and have been unable to figure out if I can import to schematics.

    However, for cables you can cut and paste in screen shots so if you have photos of the cable or connectors you can add them to help document what you want someone to do.  For example, make it clear the connections are from wiring side view and not the connection side view.

     

    This can also be useful to show reworks to a schematic/PCB as an inset on the schematic.
