Circuit Design Suite (Multisim, Ultiboard)

[Henry Wroblews…]

Hello all,

When I export an IGES file from Ultiboard, it does not display properly in Inventor. It appears that the horizontal plane surfaces are in one location, and the vertical plane surfaces are rotated 90 degrees. Any ideas about what could be going wrong?

I would also like to use the IDF format, however, the IDF converter does not work well with Windows 7 (64 bit) and Ultiboard 12.0, as discussed here on the forums: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Circuit-Design-Suite-Multisim/Ultiboard-IDF-Converter-UB-12-compatability/td.... Is there a new version of the converter yet? Is there a workaround I can use?

Thank you,

Henry Wroblewski

Hi,

Is it possible for you to send us the design which you exported the IGES file from. Can you also please let us know what software you were using to view the IGES file.

Hi Henry,

The program you are using (Autodesk Inventor) seems to be interpreting the board differently. I was able to export your design file using another program (eDrawings RapidFire Lite).

After deleting the copper areas, your design was exported perfectly; with the edges and surfaces lined up.

As for the IDF converter, we are waiting for updates on this.

Hi, I am interesting for CAD Autodesk Inventor 2013 at Mechatronics Series Part II: Conceptual Design Visualisation - Introduction to CosmosMotion ad LAB VIEW. There are only about SolidWorks. Where can I get detailed new information?

Hi,

I am not exactly sure what you would like to know. I think you have posted in the wrong forum. Please post LabVIEW related questions in the LabVIEW forum.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
