IDF Import Options
You can set import options when you import Intermediate Data Format
(IDF) circuit board files with CircuitWorks Lite.
To set IDF import options:
Click Open
or File, Open.
-
In the dialog box, set Files of
type to IDF (*.emn,*.brd,*.bdf,*.idb),
then click Options.
The Import Options
dialog box appears with IDF
selected on the File Format
tab.
Select from
the following options:
Add
board drilled holes. If holes have been drilled in the circuit
board, the holes appear in the SolidWorks part.
Reverse
underside components. In cases where import data causes the components
to be rotated incorrectly, selecting this option compensates for the misplacement
and allows proper location of the component features.
Click OK
to return to the Open dialog box.
Select the
file to open, then click Open to import the file as a SolidWorks document.
