In summary, you have to be willing to dedicate time to experiment with the import/export capability to determine what works well. Use text of the correct height and position. Component Editor allows you to draw parts and make components. PCB Layout features a shape-based autorouter, high-speed/differential signal routing. This EDA tool is a perfect combination of wide engineering capabilities and an intuitive user interface. I don't know what happened in your situation.Ĥ. Pattern Editor allows you to create part footprints. DipTrace is an advanced PCB design software that consists of 4 modules: PCB Layout, Schematic Capture, Component and Pattern Editors. Use the same units and precision in both programs.

L2=Graduation marks (I actually used a seperate layer for each type of grad mark)īecause I used layers, I imported 元 to the DSPCB documentation layer, where I was able to easily change the text to the appropriate style, justification and layer, in a global fashion (via window selection), within DSPCB.ģ. This will allow you to import specific ACAD layers to specific DSPCB layers. If you don't set the width (the default is 0.00) the lines will vanish when imported.Ģ. Set the minimum width to 0.127mm (0.005"), precision = 3. Use polylines for all lines, arcs and circles. So things to do in ACAD that will help with the import:ġ. You probably did this in your example, that's why the text has shifted a little.įor me, using ACAD MC (middle center) text justification worked nicely and mapped to "middle" justification in DSPCB. Many times its depends on the drawing objects and entities used in the source DXF file and support of those objects/entities in the importing program.įor example, it makes no sense to use an AutoCAD text justification of ML (middle Left) if the importing program doesn't support it, unless you plan to fix it afterwards. You have to play with the import/export feature to figure out what they are.
