If it's a black/white logo which can be rasterized, you can also go the 'Font' way. Use a Font creator tool (e.g. FontCreator, costs a little) to create a Font with a single letter (you can easily import vector graphics); then, assign that logo to a letter (e.g. L); then install that font in Windows and use it in Altium; This works for both Schematic and PCB with the added benefit that it doesn't blow up your PCB in size (which the bitmap option does).

Jun 11, 2015 - One great way to customize a printed circuit board is to add a cool logo to it. Here are 3 different ways of doing it when using the Eagle PCB design software. SVG format since you can download the svg2poly script available. CAD EXTRACTION FROM PCB DESIGN SOFTWARE. For ODB++ which means that you have to download a utility script from Valor. Printed circuit board layout (OPEN FILE).

Disadvantage: Wherever you want to have your logo displayed, you need that font installed. If you have your logo in vector form, you should export it as dxf which Altium can import. Might not work well with pictures, but since most Logos also come in 'simplified' vector forms, it might still be an option. The procedure of creating a 'solid' logo from the DXF lines is a bit lengthy, but very reliable and gives high quality results. Here it is: • Import your dxf file (File>Import>DXF).

Choose the correct units.

Set small values for neck width and arc approximation.

• Adjust the clearance for the polygon to the DXF lines to 0 by adding a specific design rule • Repour the polygon, then select it, right click on it and use Polygon Actions>Explode selected Polygons to Free Primitives • Now your polygon consists of several copper regions. You can delete all regions that should not be filled, as well as your original DXF lines. • Group your regions by selecting them and creating a union from them (Tools>Convert>Create Union from selected objects). This approach works best if you put your logo into a PCB library, so you can simply place it on any PCB and edit it at a central location. Per the, there are a few methods: • TrueType Font Embedding images as glyphs in a TrueType font allows you to take advantage of vector graphics and their inherent scalability. I won't cover how to do this here, but there are many tools such as or a free online tool such as. This isn't an endorsement nor guarantee of these tools working.) • Pasting from Clipboard Altium supports metafile formats such as 1-bit bitmaps, lines, arcs, and TrueType characters.

(Copying a 1-bit image from your favorite editor won't necessarily work unless it supports Windows metafile data; as I discovered attempting to use Irfanview.) The documentation recommends pasting first in Microsoft Word, for example. The current layer will be the target for pasted data.

• Placing as OLE Object This works through the Place > Object from File command in Altium Designer. Only the BMP format is mentioned.

CADENCE ALLEGRO Data Extraction There are 2 possibilities for extracting data from Cadence Allegro (and also latest version of Cadence ORCAD), both of which require the CAD engineer to run a special script ON the CAD system - it is NOT possible to do this after data has been extracted as all Cadence data is extracted using customised script programs. I) ODB++ Cadence have brought Orcad into line with Allegro such that they are using a common GUI for Layout/PCB design and that their 'favourite' export of data is the 'Allegro way' which is to use script programs for specific formats and that they have a 'valued tie-in' with Valor for ODB++ which means that you have to download a utility script from Valor.
