Importing AUTOCAD files into PROTEL ?
Importing AUTOCAD files into PROTEL ?
(OP)
Dear all,
I'm an electronic engineer but never done PROTEL seriously before!! I'd like to design a circuit that will sit on a board with an odd shape, having holes and curves everywhere. Can I import the board shape from Autocad and design my PCB there? I usually prefered to design the small PCBs in Autocad but this time the project is serious.
Any help is appreciated in advance.
