How can I add a 3D file such as IGES, 3D CATIA, STEP or 3D DXF 13 to library component?

Kind regards,

Daniel Hodali

Go and buy a top end CAD PCB package costing many thousands of pounds, and then pay their annual licence fees, - some annual licenses cost more than the full works of EasyPC.

You may find that these packages allow you to do what you want.

DesignSpark PCB can import files such as IGES, 3D CATIA, STEP or 3D DXF 13 to library and it is free of charge. As I was told DesignSpark PCB is a stripped down version of Easy-PC (http://www.numberone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=619).

I updated Easy-PC to version 15. But I think I am going to use DesignSpark PCB in the future because it has the same features as Easy-PC and more. I don't see any great advantages in using Easy-PC. Does anybody disagree?

Kind regards,

Daniel Hodali

Iain is right, DesignSpark PCB cannot import those files. DesignSpark (much like PCB Artist from Advanced Circuits) has a subset of the Easy-PC functionality, it doesn't have a stack of extra stuff like this.
