- Part 3 IDF Translator
- Index
When imported as a part document, the board components are translated
into the sketches and extrusions that make up the part model in a
hierarchy. Importing IDF data as a single part simplifies file management
and reduces the number of files that must be opened to display an accurate
representation of the PCB assembly.

For additional practice, try importing the same file as a part to see the
differences in the browser information.
Use IDF Board Data
Once IDF data is imported, you can treat it as you would treat normal Autodesk
Inventor parts, assemblies, and subassemblies. With the PCB data you can:
■ Verify important features of the board including mounting locations, major
components, connector locations, and keepout areas.
■ Verify the fit and shape of the board in the context of the assembly, when
placed in an existing assembly.
■ Edit design constraints (keepouts) as 2D sketches.
