[PCB_FORUM] Re: Converting files to DXF

Actually you don’t need DXF anymore.  Dave Elder posted a BMP/JPG import 
routine on the Cadence Forum

You can find the thread here:

Just follow the instructions and you’re off and running.  It does a fine job of 
importing JPGs on to your board.


Enjoy

I think this has been discussed here before, but can’t find the string. It’s 
been a long time since I’ve had to do this, so can’t remember the tricks. I 
have a new company logo in .eps,.tif, .jpg, and .bmp formats. I need .dxf, 
.idf, or .iff in order to import to Allegro. I asked our ME’s to import the 
various formats into SolidWorks, and then export a .dxf from there, but the 
resulting .dxf is problematic. I’m getting a lot of errors having to do with 
polylines and mtext. Any clues? Thanks in advance.
