"Filter type" Selection Area
Here, the filter type that can currently be selected in CAD Import is represented by the icon (PP-filter).
This filter type determines the filter required for reading in placement information from a CAD data file. The
placement information (CAD data) read in is then interpreted as a PCB structure upon conversion.
The icon is without any function in this SW version.
Filter Selection Button
Clicking on this button causes the corresponding FSB for the selection of an existing filter or entering a new
filter to open. The procedure to be followed is described in section 4.6.2.2.
Display area
The contents of the open CAD file is displayed in this area. If the information does not fit in the display area,
the contents can be scrolled by means of the horizontal or vertical scroll bars.
Command Area
This area contains commands with the aid of which the conversion process can be started, or already-converted
be discarded again. Function and execution of the commands is described in section 4.6.2.3.
4.6.2.1 FILE Menu
NOTE
In the following, only a few menu items of the "FILE" menu are explained briefly. Since the menu items "Convert"
and "Discard" have the same meaning as the corresponding icons in the command area, they are described
in more detail in section 4.6.2.3.
The functions of the remaining menu items of the "FILE" menu are described in chapt. 2.
- Save
This command is used to save the converted file (structure) to the "PCB" directory under the name
of the current CAD file plus the suffix .la.

The converted structure is saved.
Above the display area, adjacent to "Converted structure", the path and the name of the conver-
ted structure are now displayed.
- Save as
This command is used to save the converted file (structure) to the "PCB" directory under the file name
entered.
● Select the FILE --> Save as menu item.
The FSB containing the file selection of all already-defined PCBs opens.
