Import your Eagle PCB Design into Google SketchUp


Visualization your PCBs in Google SketchUp is easy now. According to the source Hackaday.com has revealed the news that the weak point in eagle can be overcome.

EagleUP is a software package that will import the Eagle CAD PCB designs into Google SketchUp. It certainly build up the gap between them using the open Source image processing Software ImageMagick. SketchUp gives you a beautifully render 3D model of your hardware design. It’s a wonderful way to make sure that your enclosed design will work and you don’t need to wait till the PCBs arrive from the fab house. Though last time a try given to make sure that SketchUp runs under Wine but nothing came of it, this time again you can give a try. The Software will be available for Windows OSX and Linux.
