Board Shape From CAD#164922

Hello,
I am working on a project that involves making a PCB to fit inside a housing. I have a CAD model (in Autodesk Inventor) of the board, but can't find documentation on importing that shape. Should I export the shape to a bmp and import/trace that?

I haven't tried this but if you can save the board in DXF format you can import that design into Eagle using the dxf.ulp.

Thanks for the reply. As far as I can tell, dxf.ulp is used to export DXF files, not import them.

Google brings up lots of possibilities.
