Re: [beagleboard] x15 STEP file?

[Rick Mann]

Thanks for those suggestions, but that's way too much work. I guess I'll just 
design a minimal enclosure for my specific needs.

Re: [beagleboard] x15 STEP file?

[ybeagle3]

Older versions of Eagle can do 3D exports. The process flow I have used with 
Eagle6 is - 

Generate a ENM file from the ULP exporter. 
Convert the ENM to a suitable 3D file format STEP
Import there STEP file into MCAD

There are suppose to be ULPs that can generate a SAT but that triggers a bug 
in my MCAD importer.

The problem is still associating components with models. But that is the 
problem that makes it complex to do in Allegro.

For case design, a rough model can be created by:
- Make DXF export of the board (Gerber conversion or open file in Allegro and 
output a DXF). Goal is to get a 2D outline of the board with cutouts, holes, 
etc.
- Import DXF into MCAD and extrude it to the thickness of the PCB (0.062)
- Create an assembly with the extruded board and place the larger components 
(connectors usually). A lot of connectors have locating pins that can be used 
to locate the model.

A little more work but workable.

Re: [beagleboard] x15 STEP file?

[John Syne]

Yeah, I just checked and V8 does import gerber files
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/eagle/troubleshooting/caas/discussion/t5/EAGLE-Forum/How-to-import-gerber-files/td-p/7058370.html

Seems like Eagle uses ecad.io for 3D parts. This might work for you as it seems 
to import Allegro files.
https://www.ecad.io/

Re: [beagleboard] x15 STEP file?

[Graham]

Eagle does not support import of Gerbers.
It will output Gerbers of boards you have designed.
Only the latest (Autodesk) Eagle 8 version will support 3-D parts.

Re: [beagleboard] x15 STEP file?

[John Syne]

I’m wondering if this can be done with Eagle. It might be possible to import 
the gerber file, create the PCB from that and then add the connectors 3D parts. 
Perhaps someone who knows Eagle might comment.

John

You don’t know of anyone with Altium? Try and find your local Altium user group 
and see if someone will help you.

Re: [beagleboard] x15 STEP file?

[John Syne]

If you could Import the board into Altium it is pretty easy to create the step 
file. Here is how that works. For each connector, add the 3D step file from the 
connector manufacturer, align connectors to board and pads and then export the 
complete board in step. I estimate that is would take a few hours to get this 
done. 

I think someone asked for the Alegro ascii file which is necessary to import 
the board into Altium, but so far I think Gerald hasn’t got this done. 

Regards,
John

Re: [beagleboard] x15 STEP file?

[Rick Mann]

Oh, that's a pity. Makes it hard to know exactly where to place cutouts along 
the edges. I mean, I can measure it with calipers, but it's hard to get it 
accurate. In particular, I wanted to have the reset button insert into a boss 
on the enclosure to protect it from accidental presses.
