BRD files, FlexBV, Eagle

[u666sa]

Am I correct?

.BRD files that are meant for Eagle can be opened in FlexBV
however, .BRD files that are meant for FlexBV and OpenBoardView can not be opened in Eagle??

My Eagle is not opening BRD files I find on the internet, however, I can open just fine those files in FlexBV and OpenBoardView. I can also open fine sample BRD files from Autodesk website.

What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

EaglePCB 'brd' files are a completely different format; however, you can *export* from Eagle to Fabricator/Hyperlynx and FlexBV can read that.
