[PCB_FORUM] Re: IDF file??


Eileen, it has been my experience that when Pro-E crashes and burns while
trying to read in the IDF file it's because the board outline is segmented. It seems
as though it really likes to see the start point equal the end point in our output files.
Open up your output file (?.emn) and look for the description of the BOARD_OUTLINE,
it should be readable with number that match your outline.

Hi all,

I m trying to generate a 3D file (with component height) for the Mechanical to verify.



1) Is this function export IDF? If not IDF then what file format should I generate for them.

2) I have generated an IDF file and send to Mechanical, but they claim that they can t read in the file. They are using ProE. Can some one pls advise?

3) I have received the Brd file from customer, from layout, how do I check the height of the component on board? (by attributes).

4) Is there a way to generate a report on the component height?



Best regards,
Eileen
