Great news for Designers, RS components released of new PCB converter for Google SketchUp. Google SketchUp is already very much popular for creating 3D design and day by day growing more popularity & loyal following amongst electronics design engineers not because of its capability as a CAD package but also due to the fact that many of these capabilities are available in free version.
Using PCB converter you can import data formats like IDF to SketchUp. It comes with a new module which have additional 3D CAD back end capability to PCB design tool as well as it also takes Google SketchUp into electronic product design area, transfers files from CAD environment and provide IDF result into COLLADA file format.
Electronic engineers can export the PCB designs into SketchUp and assess their compatibility with the mechanical constraints & mount. It allows them to make decision for making design immediately. After that designers can incorporate 3D models of electromechanical component to complete their design.
The PCB converter can be downloaded for free for SketchUp from designspark.com
