PCB-Investigator supports the export of your layout data in multiple 3D formats, like the STEP format.
Convert your data from 2D to 3D and bridge the world of electronics and mechanics. An effective flow of information between the various involved departments and cross-team working open up unforeseen opportunities.
Import components from CSV file:
You have a bill of material and some Gerber data? Use both with PCB-Investigator and import your components from CSV file to a new component layer to the Gerber stackup.
To allow cross program data transfer between the various development and production tools, DXF (Drawing Interchange Format) is an important help.
With the DXF Export Plug-in you can export DXF data from your PCB layout.
To allow a cross program data transfer between the various development and production tools, DXF (Drawing Interchange Format) is an important help.
With the DXF Import Plug-in you can import DXF data to your PCB layout.
In addition to other PCB data formats like ODB++, GenCad, IPC2581, DXF, DPF, ... PCB-Investigator is also able to directly import your EAGLE layout without having to use any ULP program or workaround.
Just use drag&drop, it’s as simple as that!
In combination with ODB++ and IPC 2581, GenCAD is one of the most important PCB data formats mainly used in the manufacturing area.
This free plug-in creates a "dae" file in order to import PCB data to Google SketchUp.
All you need are ODB++ or IPC-2581 data of your design.
PCB-Investigator Import for IDF Format.
There are implementation for IDF 2.0 and 3.0
In addition to ODB++ and GenCAD, IPC-2581 is an important PCB data format, mostly used in the development field.
The IPC-2581 Plug-in enables PCB-Investigator to easily import IPC-2581 A/B data files.
