If you can create a DXF, see if you can output it to an earlier version. I have not been able to read ACAD Lite 2004 DXFs with Allegro, but ACAD Lite also outputs ACAD version 12 DXFs which work fine. -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Eric Hufstedler Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 2:41 PM To: 'icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: importing dxf in allegro Here are some chunks from previous posts. Don't know anything about htem myself. eric ############################################ http://www.tima.demon.co.uk/freeware/bmp2asc.htm There are software products that will convert raster to vector images, or bitmap to vector. DXF by choice so you can import to Allegro. ------------ http://www.trixsystems.com/products.html http://www.imagemagick.org/ http://www.wburrows.demon.co.uk/softsoft/wintopo/index-free.htm You might also ask a photoplot vendor if they can convert it for you. I have had this done in the past and it only cost me $150.00 per logo. -----Original Message----- Subject: [PCB_FORUM] company logo anyone know how to put a bitmap on silkscreen? is this something that can be done or do i send bitmap to board house and let them put it on. ############################################ -----Original Message----- From: Samuel Cais [mailto:cais@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 1:51 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.
