I am trying to use a dxf file as a board outline using Layout 9.0. I imported the dxf file into VCADD and translated it into a max file. Is there any way to merge an existing pcb layout with components using this board outline?
 

Re: Orcad Layout 9.0 dxf file

Yes you can!

1. Open the layout design files.
2. Set the insertion point (Tool-Dimension-Move Datum).
3. Go to "Files" menu and select "Load".
4. In the "Files of type" box select "Merge board (MAX).
5. Click "Open"

In Layout 9.0, there is no MAX file option. Can I construct a board as a "pie-cut"? That is, rather than have a full circle, use an arc with end points.

Yes, you can construct a board outline of your choice using the .dxf import option. However,merging an existing pcb is still a question?
