dxf pcb layout instructions
Hi FvM,
Thank you for your quick reply,
I appreciate that very much,
Sorry that I described the problem not clear, so please let me describe it in more details, For example:
- I have (2D-DXF) files of device A and device B
- each device has 3 layers
- I want to put 5 of same device A and 5 of same device B in the same board
The problem I got stuck is the alignment of the same device in different layer .

Hello,
what you ask for is a matter of pcb postprocess rather than pcb layout to my opinion. I'm using Graphicode GC-PrevuePlus for this purpose. But unfortunately it isn't a free tool. There may me other tools available for free, also some layout editors (pcb cad tools) can read in dxf and gerber, I think.
.... Thank you for this tip: I will try to get an trial-version of this software,

Hello,
If you are able to convert gerber to dxf, you can do the data manipulation with a general purpose cad tool. But you probably want to have also gerber output, probably not possible then.
I have 2D-DXF files ( layer by layer) of seperated devices
Please hint me a bit more specific --- do you mean autocad or so ?????
can I use AutoCad (CadLite, ... etc) to do the vertical aligment of the devices ???
I would very apprecite to have some more advices from you
Any Guru out there , please stop by and give me a hand ...
Your help would greatly be appreciated
