Advanced PCB Import Options
View the advanced PCB options available for import (depending on the type of file to be imported).
- Use infinitely thin layers
- This option reduces the layers of a PCB with a finite thickness to infinitely thin layers.
- Import vias
- This option imports the vias defined in the PCB file and adds as wires between the PCB layers.
- Union resultant geometry
- This option unions the imported PCB model.
- Simplify resultant geometry
- This option simplifies the imported PCB model.
- Heal and simplify internal representation of PEMA data
- When using this option, simplification (removal of redundant faces and edges) as well as tolerance-related corrections are applied during the conversion from the PCB data. In some cases this may result in desired information (such as shapes defined within a metal fill) being removed from the layout. Re-do the import without this option to retain this information.
- Scale by
- Specify a value by which the PCB model must be scaled during import. CADFEKO will suggest a default value based on the CADFEKO model unit and the unit of the PCB file that is to be imported. This suggested value can be changed as needed.
