Import

To import a DXF/DWG file to the active Altium Designer schematic or PCB document, select the File » Import » DXF/DWG command from the main menus of the corresponding editor. To import a DXF/DWG file to the active Altium Designer schematic or PCB library, select the File » Import » AutoCAD command from the main menus of the corresponding editor.

Export

An Altium Designer schematic or PCB document can be exported to the DXF/DWG file format. In an Outputjob file, click [Add New Export Output] and select an entry in the AutoCAD dwg/dxf PCB or AutoCAD dwg/dxf Schematic menu. The export outputs can then be generated directly from the file or as part of the Project Release process.

Alternatively, select the File » Export » DXF/DWG command from the main menus of Altium Designer's schematic or PCB editor.

To export an Altium Designer schematic or PCB library to the DXF/DWG file format, select the File » Export » AutoCAD command from the main menus of the corresponding library editor.

Whether exporting as part of an OutJob file, or directly from the File menu, you will be able to configure options for the export in the associated Export to AutoCAD dialog.

  • When exporting from a Schematic (or schematic library), configuration is performed using the following dialog:

Set the version, format and units as required. For a schematic, to include the current template graphics in the exported AutoCAD file, ensure the Include Template option is enabled.

After clicking OK, the  Export Documents dialog will open from where you can set the scope of Schematic documents to be exported.
  • When exporting from a PCB (or PCB library), configuration is performed using the following dialog:

A DXF format file can also be imported to or exported from a Draftsman document using the File » Import from DXF and File » Export to Dxf commands from the main menus.
