This is a work around, but it does a good job. Dxf's import easily into symbol .dra easily. Just import your dxf into a library symbol making it an .osm (format)or .bsm(board) and then you'll have an easily importable image to put on any board you chose. ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Samuel Cais Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 4:51 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] importing dxf in allegro Hi everyone, We have to use a weee symbol on our board and only have this in a bmp file format. I created a dxf using wintopo and I can open the dxf created with voloview express but when I try to import it in allegro I have this message: ERROR: Invalid program arguments. Terminating program. I'm using allegro performance 15.2 Any idea how to import correctly a bmp file in allegro? Thanks Samuel Samuel CAIS Interphase Corporation CAD PCB Designer 2901 N.
