Need some input from anyone who knows how to design a PCB breakout board. I spent the last ten hours figuring out the designspark software and now can't figure out how to export it to a dxf or anything else usable on the CNC. Anyone designing PCB boards and if so, what software are you using?

And exporting as a dxf only exports the outline a drilling parameters. |

It says it exports JPG and PNG. Can you export those and load it into artcam?

Worse case scenario. Screen capture your image and send it to me. I can make it into a DXF for you by 10 am this morning. Got to get to the office 1st.

Adobe illustrator can trace an image and save it as a dxf. That is what I was going to do.

I think I know what you're working on. Why not just let me send ya a freebie on one of the boards I'm having designed and you can test it out before I go into production with it. It's still probably 20 days out because I'm yet to approve the final design, FYI.

It may take that long for my spindle to get here anyway. The VFD and collets should be here this week, spindle allegedly not until October 7th at least. Went with a 800w 1hp by the way so I can push it and the VFD. The hardware should be here this week to finish operation flip. Got the frame welded up already. Hopefully I'll be able to run the thing before November lol. |
