How To Open Pcb File In Solidworks

Open SOLIDWORKS PCB. The.CSPcbDoc file cannot be directly opened in SW PCB. Do not use File - Open. Note: The user must be in a project for the import option to be available. However, PCB document files from Altium Designer must be opened through the Import feature. Navigate and pick the design files to be converted and select OK. The SOLIDWORKS PCB Import Files conversion will happen in the background and you will receive a completion message when finished. CircuitWorks is just a bridge to allow SOLIDWORKS to open files produced by other ECAD PCB design software. It requires an intermediary file format be used, referred to as IDF files. IDF (Intermediate Data Format) is an open file format that has gone through a few revisions. Most common is IDF 2.0 and 3.0.

Anyone ever import a CADENCE Allegro PCB into SolidWorks?

Hi Folks,

Solidworks Pcb Tutorial

SOLIDWORKS designers who need to make masks for PCB or for integrated circuits can use STL2GBR which translates STL files to Gerber and STL2GDS which translates STL to GDSII. Artwork also supplies a tool to import Gerber, ODB, or GDSII to SOLIDWORKS as a 3D geometry. This video will explore how to use your PCB electronic design file with SOLIDWORKS Electrical.-Presented by Saran Haldar.

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever import a PCB design (done in Allegro) directly into SolidWorks. If so what have you found to be the best intermediate format? Or what intermediate formats are available for export within the Allegro environment (e.g. IGES, STEP, etc.).

I've never done anything like this before and am in the dark. Any feedback would be appreciated greatly.
