Working With PCB’s…..Importing IDF Information with Inventor Professional

By admin on May 28th, 2008

One of the lesser know file types that you can work with inside of Inventor is PCB translater files. These include files of .brd, .emn, .bdf, and .idb.

It is a very simple process to bring the files in and create either a part file or an assembly file.

You have the ability to edit this information also after bringing it into Inventor as well.

Check out my video here:

Enjoy,

Jim…….Another INCAT CAD Geek!
