Hello,
A simple question which I can't solve from years - how can I import polygones in Altium.
Notice that when importing DXF or gerbers in Altium we always finish with tracks. Then we have to convert the tracks to polygones but in case we have very complex shapes converting the tracks to polygones becomes real challenge.
If we use planes in the DXF they convert to region in Altium which is fine for me, but planes in DXF could have only 3 or 4 points.
Till now the only one working solution to convert DXF into polygones is to pass through ORCAD:
1. Import DXF in ORCAD. Closed shapes appear like polygones
2. Import ORCAD in Altium. The closed contours in DXF appear like polygones.
In short my question is - how I can import into Altium directly (or by using some conversion tool) polygones? If I draw multiple closed shapes in AutoCad or DWGEditor and save them like DXF how can these shapes appear like polygines in Altium without excessive manual interaction and work (like select tracks & convert to polygones)?
Thank you
