Hi Tomas,

it is reasonable. ODB++ file should be imported into a PCB primitive Icepak object, while IDF can be imported directly. Here is a more detailed definition of IDF.

If you need more help regarding your sepecific files, please submit a service request and I'm happy to help you!

Best regards,

Joey
