Here's one way, if you have a print device set up to capture an hpgl file... -Open the .pdf and print to file -There are several freeware programs that will convert hpgl to dxf, if you don't already own something with that capability. Use whatever to convert your hpgl to .dxf -Import .dxf to a .dra and modify elements to subclass you want them to be -make a .clp and import the .clp to your .brd Pretty straightforward, no? -Chris "Coombs, William B.
