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.

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
