Use DXF file as template for custom component footprint

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello, 

 

I am pretty familiar with EAGLE and have designed a few boards with it in the past. Today I decided to give Fusion 360 a shot. I am in the process of creating a board that will be used to connect multiple off-the-shelf boards such as (Arduino Mini Pro, motor controller, and wireless transceiver). The motor controller has a bunch of different ports and does not follow a typical pattern with that being said I do have access to a dxf file that specifies the drill locations on the board. 

 

In the past I would just place this dxf file in the tplace layer of EAGLE and use it as a template to create my custom footprint. However, I can not figure out for the life of my how to add a dxf file when creating a footprint in Fusion 360. I did a bunch of googling and searching these forums and did not come across anything.
