4.6 CAD Import

Externally created placement files (e.g. files created on CAD systems, PPS systems, in databases, etc.) can

be easily adapted to the SIPLACE format with the aid of the user interface of the „CAD Import“ program.

The "CAD Import" program makes a distinction between two modes:

Conversion mode

(default mode)

Filters are used as the basis for the data import in the

Conversion mode

Filter editing mode

The filters required for the determination of the required placement data from the files to be converted,

can be created or modified in the

Filter editing mode

When converting the placement data, a cluster size is calculated from the placement positions located at the

outermost positions. This cluster size can be changed to its actual size in a separate window of CAD Import.

In addition, the preset coordinate system can also be changed.

To display the PCB structure created from the converted and modified placement data, the graphics function

provided in the user interface of CAD Import is used.

4.6.1 Prerequisites/Preparatory Steps for the Import of Externally

Created Placement Files

- The placement file (CAD data file) must be available in the ASCII format.

- The name of the file must end with the suffix .cad.

- The file must be copied to the Master data/CAD-Bibliothek directory (see section 4.3.4.1).

- Each data line of a placement position must minimally contain the following PP data:

the component name,

the x and y-coordinates

the placement angle
