Mitch, The IDF has a catch-all item called OTHER_OUTLINE. Starting with 15.1, idf_in handles OTHER_OUTLINE element. These elements will be imported to subclasses OTHER_OUTLINE_TOP and OTHER_OUTLINE_BOT, according to the "board side" value in the IDF record. The OTHER_OUTLINE element also has an "outline identifier" record that is a variable length string. Use the identifier string to specify what the outline is. After import, the user should z-copy the shape from OTHER_OUTLINE_X to the appropriate subclass. John -----Original Message----- From: Mitch S.

Hi all, Thought I'd run this thru ya before I search SL. How do you import things like soldermask/solderpaste SHAPES into Allegro from Pro-E? Our shields require soldermask openings and the solderpaste shapes for stensil creation inside allegro. We want them as shapes (like they're drawn in Pro-E. Now they come across as 2D lines though.) like the PLACEMENT/KEEPOUTS come across, so we don't have to redraw them. Does anyone know how that's done on the pro-e side? Thanks in advance. Good day. ----------------------------------------- This email was sent using http://cafemail.pcbcafe.com . ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
