    With the Autodesk Inventor IDF Translator, you can:

    • Import industry standard files (.brd, .emn, .bdf, .idb) in the Intermediate Data Format (IDF) as new part or assembly files, or as subassemblies in existing assemblies.
    • Display a summary of board items before importing.
    • Automatically place all or selected board items, such as drilled holes, keepouts, outlines (including cutouts), and components on the PCB.
    • Automatically group outlines, keepouts, and components based on board side (top, bottom, inner), when imported as an assembly.
      NoteVia keepouts are not grouped since they travel through the board.
    • Assigns colors on import for an accurate board representation. You can change the colors for the entire board, other outlines, and all or selected components.
