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

4.6.2 Starting CAD Import
Depending on the operating mode selected, the user interface of CAD Import can be opened either by selecting
the CAD import option from the "PRODUCT" menu on the desktop, or by clicking on the CAD import icon in
the "Products" area.
Moreover, the user interface of CAD Import can also be opened via the Data Manager by clicking on a file with
the suffix .cad in the Master data/CAD-Bibliothek directory.
● Click on the CAD import icon on the desktop (or the "CAD import" menu item on the "PRODUCT"
menu). The FSB containing a listing of all available ".cad" files opens.
● Select the "xxx.cad" name of the desired file by double-clicking.
The main window of CAD Import (see Fig. 4.6.1) opens.
The content of the selected file is displayed in the display area.
The name of the filter that was used most recently is entered above the display area,
adjacent to the filter selection button.
