![]() Going into the property menus of one of these objects reveals a list of points and coordinates, and import/export options. Lack of fill options or the ability to merge these objects make it inadequate for my purposes. ![]() This is great if you want to draw outlines, but that’s it. The CM importer splits up the original paths into discrete arc and line segments. Importing DXF files directly in Circuitmaker is possible, but largely unsatisfying.Here are the options and approaches I took: ![]() Even if it had worked properly, I’m not particularly happy about being dependent on the expensive professional tool to work with the hobbyist one. These images were way larger and more complicated than the previous experiment, however, and the Delphiscript chewed on it for three or four hours before silently failing. The first approach I started with, after drawing some pretty pretty pictures, was to attempt to load them into Altium Designer in the same fashion as described earlier. This is the story of how I arrived at a robust method of importing bitmaps into arbitrary layers in EAGLE cad or Altium CircuitMaker. If you’re just here for the solution, scroll way down and read the paragraph about the brd-builder.py script. Conveniently, this is pretty good at getting images into EAGLE as well. ![]() Jumping off from my last post about getting images into Altium Designer, it was surprisingly difficult to do in CircuitMaker.Īfter three days of attempting a few different approaches, I have one that I’m quite happy with. ![]()
