Import an IDF file into an Icepak design.

Parameters:

board_pathstr: Full path to the EMN/BDF file.
library_pathstr: Full path to the EMP/LDF file. The default is None, in which case a search for an EMP/LDF file with the same name as the EMN/BDF file is performed in the folder with the EMN/BDF file.
control_pathstr: Full path to the XML file. The default is None, in which case a search for an XML file with the same name as the EMN/BDF file is performed in the folder with the EMN/BDF file.
filter_capbool, optional: Whether to filter capacitors from the IDF file. The default is False.
filter_indbool, optional: Whether to filter inductors from the IDF file. The default is False.
filter_resbool, optional: Whether to filter resistors from the IDF file. The default is False.
filter_height_underfloat or str, optional: Filter components under a given height. The default is None, in which case no components are filtered based on height.
filter_height_exclude_2dbool, optional: Whether to filter 2D components from the IDF file. The default is False.
power_underfloat or str, optional: Filter components with power under a given mW. The default is None, in which case no components are filtered based on power.
create_filtered_as_non_modelbool, optional: Whether to set imported filtered components as Non-Model. The default is False.
high_surface_thickfloat or str optional: High surface thickness. The default is "0.07mm".
low_surface_thickfloat or str, optional: Low surface thickness. The default is "0.07mm".
internal_thickfloat or str, optional: Internal layer thickness. The default is "0.07mm".
internal_layer_numberint, optional: Number of internal layers. The default is 2.
high_surface_coveragefloat, optional: High surface material coverage. The default is 30.
low_surface_coveragefloat, optional: Low surface material coverage. The default is 30.
internal_layer_coveragefloat, optional: Internal layer material coverage. The default is 30.
trace_materialstr, optional: Trace material. The default is "Cu-Pure".
substrate_materialstr, optional: Substrate material. The default is "FR-4".
create_boardbool, optional: Whether to create the board. The default is True.
model_board_as_rectbool, optional: Whether to create the board as a rectangle. The default is False.
model_device_as_rectbool, optional: Whether to create the components as rectangles. The default is True.
cutoff_heightstr or float, optional: Cutoff height. The default is None.
component_libstr, optional: Full path to the component library.

Returns:

bool: True when successful, False when failed.
