Importing Dxf with netlabels and vias
« on: October 25, 2019, 02:48:45 am »
I'm working on figuring out an efficient workflow for going between parametrically designed shapes and net labeled traces in Altium, additionally it should also be able to place vias in parametriclly defined locations. Currently we are Using Solidworks to parametrically create our shapes then export those shapes as a dxf. We then make solid fills with AutoCad. After importing into Altium we need to add hundreds of vias, and label them to make electrical connections. I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge of either a better way to do this, or a script or plugin that achieves a similar functionality. Thank you for any info!  ^-^

I suppose you could make your vias into components. Then you could run the placement script to place by a .pik file. You could generate that file with some scripting probably. Idk just a thought.

or you could write your own script within altium to add vias
