[PCB_FORUM] Re: How do I include .dra file that contains my board outline in a DxD schematic?

Austin,

The third party syntax  $PACKAGES for components needs to have a refdes.
Example : 'RS0402_01A' ! RJX0087400 ! 332 ! '1%' ; R390 R391

If you need to automate the process then you need to have a refdes
defined and created as *.dra symbol. For example like NPTH mounting
hole.

Hope this helps

Exactly what I want to do using DxD...

Already done.  I can place it manually, so I know that part works.
