Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Couple things I'd look at (and you didn't mention where the DXF file came from, please add that)

1) Bring the DXF file into a CAD tool like AutoCAD or IntelliCAD (comes with Allegro). Make sure it's a viable DXF file 1st. You can also find out the UNITS of measure (Inch or millimeters)
2) Check the .brd file UNITS prior to importing the DXF file. It should match whatever your DXF file is set at.

I always bring the DXF file into IntelliCAD before I try bringing it into Allegro. I can kill whatever I don't need. Plus I select everything; EXPLODE ALL; and PURGE ALL. Then I save it out under v12. This assures me that I ALWAYS get what I want when I import it into Allegro.

(PS for IntelliCAD... It's on the install CD )

Good day.

hi mitch,

the dxf file came from the customer. its a board outline with a lot of text in it. we already open it using AR_CAD (Intellicad) and it is intact. but we cannot explore through it because the software is in japanese. but i manage somehow to load the board only by trial and error method on the selection of which file you want to import. thanks a lot for your help. i wish could change the language settings of the software so that it would be easier to delete unnecessary things on the dxf file. this time it was a miracle that i manage to get through it:) whewwww....

looking forward for your continuous support.
thanks a lot


have a nice day ahead,
eric
