 24 Jun 2008 11:38 2D line to route/trace in PADS?? |
|
|
|
i have done a layout in another pcb layout software and exported it into DXF file.
then, imported the DXF file into PADS but the routes/traces became 2D lines..
is there a way to change the Properties of those 2D lines into Route/Trace in PADS 2005?

| If they have a width already you could add to print them as copper in your cam file, when you do gerbers.

I have also tried this option many times back.But I couldn't able to sucess,Eventhough it may printed as copper in CAM file.We can't use the 2d lines as a trace in the pads layout since it shows a lot of DRC's and connectivity problem occurs.
Please let me know if any one work on this issue to solve this problem.It will be very useful for me in my designs.

| Are the routes polylines? Can you convert them to copper so you could run DRC?

| If we use copper instead of traces then the connectivity doesn't acheived.It is very difficult to check in the PADS layout database.
