Hi,
My problem is this: I make a printed circuit board (PCB) with Eagle layout
editor and save the board as .dxf format. Ok, but it contains only lenght
and width information for components, not height. But there is a add-on
package called Eagle3D which creates povray file from the board. This file
includes the three dimensional information for components. So has anyone
written a converter that could convert povray file into dxf format? If I
render the image with Povray the rendered image has the physical information
of components only visually..
-Jarmo

You might be lucky that the output of that program only uses POV-Ray 2.2
features...
On the other hand, I don't think that the information from the 3D converter
will always measure the exact height of all components. You are probably
served better if you get the data sheets for all the components and lookup
the exact height there.

I don't think I've ever seen a converter that converts FROM POV to some
other format...

If you already speak the language of God, why would you translate it into
anything else? You would just lose structure, meaning and beauty.

Ooooh, there's a surreal IRTC entry in that statement somewhere just begging
to be released...
