PCB layout module for Google SketchUp RS Components announces the release of its new PCB Converter for SketchUp tool, which allows designers to import intermediate data format (IDF) files into Google SketchUp. The new module adds a 3D CAD back-end capability to PCB design tools and takes SketchUp into the electronic product design domain, transferring files from any CAD environment providing IDF output into COLLADA format. PCB Converter for SketchUp can be downloaded for free from the DesignSpark SparkStore at www.designspark.com, from the RS website atwww.rsonline.co.za/electronics or from the plug-ins area on the Google SketchUp website, http://sketchup.google.com Electronics engineers are able to export their PCB designs into Google SketchUp to assess their compatibility with the mechanical constraints of enclosures and mounts. This allows them to make design decisions immediately, and mitigates the need for redesign requests and design reviews. Users can then incorporate 3D models of popular electromechanical components to complete their design. CAD models of products in the RS product range can be downloaded from the website in SketchUp compliant format (*.skp) and used in the tool.
