[SOLVED] Create PCB with importing dxf to altium

[baby_2]

Hi,
Here is my dwg file that I want to import to altium designer. As you can see it imports file as mechanical layer to my pcb But I want to import this file as top or bottom layer not mechanical. How can import as top or bottom layer track?


Thanks

You can select all needed imported primitives, then PCB->PCB Inspector and change the layer to desired.

Dear Altaero
Thanks for your good way.
one more thing , How can create a circular board shape(I can redefine a polygonal board shape) in specific area(the yellow section) ?


Thanks

In general, draw a desired shape (usually at mechanical layer 1), select all external primitives, then Design->Board Shape->Define from selected objects. To make a cutout, select all internal primitives forming closed shape (one shape by time), then Tools->Convert->Create board cutout from selected primitives.
In your case if you want a circular board, just place two full circles, external to board shape, internal to board cutout.

Hi,
I want to know if there is any way to fill solid a region easily.(for example select a region and then it fills automatically). Because for an accurate draw or with a high number of solid parts it takes to time to fill sold with Place->fill or Place->fill a region commands.

In Tools->Convert menu there is an item "Create polygon from selected primitives".
