Some files will send your image all over the place - you may have to hunt for it.

Make sure you select an import center point that allows your entire image to be in your working area (up and right of 0,0). Import it to a mechanical layer, I use Mechanical Layer 2. Sometimes there’s fuckery with the scaling and initial placement, so it may be best to try this in a new PCB file.

Import your DXF as a layer into Altium.

I'm not sure why, I’m sure there’s a way if I spent more time on it. I have NOT had any luck in Inkscape using “Save as” and then selecting DXF as the file type.

Convert your PNG to a DXF. I’ve had great luck using Convertio, which you can install as an extension to Chrome.

While it could be better, it puts Altium to shame.

Also - kudos to the KiCad designers and whoever made their import tool. Got another method? Got improvements on the below? Tell me in the comments! For the Love of Bob, no one should have to go through hours of misery trying to figure this out. So if you've banged your head against the wall importing a logo into Altium Designer, here's a How To guide with 2 different ways, using a bitmap, png, jpg, and dxf. I'm sharing this with the world because it's just ridiculous that importing graphics is this much of a pain in the ass.

And then last week I spent way too much time on the heart design above and was like - fuck it.

It's such a painful process that I finally had to make myself a cheat sheet, which I continuously add to as I figure out new tricks. What - you think paying $7000 once plus $2000 yearly for THE premium circuit board layout software on the market would mean it would be no big deal to stick a logo or graphics on your PCB? Or at least that your money was enough to pay them for a nice step-by-step tutorial? HA.
