import from eagle to fusion, no line width

Hello,

So I am trying to import a pcb from eagle into fusion.  once in fusion, the traces are just lines with no width. My end goal is to be able to toolpath the traces from eagle using fusion360 cam, and then mill them out. How do i achieve this?

 

Thank you,

 

Joey

Hey joeystreet_wst,

 

I need to verify this information, but I think this is the way it works:  During the transition between EAGLE to Fusion, a decal is created of the traces and the components pads. This image is imposed over the board layout in fusion360. Since this is an image, you can't access the trace and pad details.

 

EAGLE can export gcode which contains the trace details.  Machines such as the Bantam (Other Mill) software accept the EAGLE file and build the necessary CNC data.

 

EAGLE as a C-Like language system that allows users to expand and customize its capabilities. This system is called ULP (User Language Programming), some users have created a ULP that will export g-code for CND machines.   These are ULP's uploaded by users in the past:

I hope this helps!
