I have several complex components I need to enter into CS.  They have upwards of a hundred pins.  I have the graphic representation in .DXF files.  How can I load the .DXF files and incorporate them?  CREO 11 Schematic.

Hi TH_14207554,

Best thing to do is create a Catalog Artifact Shape. Then in the catalog open shape, select the Geometry Tab and select Import Pulldown in the Get Data. In there is options for DXF, DWG, etc.

How familiar are you with creating new components within CS?

Just need a baseline for explaining how I would go about this.
