Can't Open Pcb File



OpenOpenHello,
I am new to FreeCAD and I want to import Eagle .brd files into FreeCAD with the mounted components.

Converting a schematic to PCB can be done using the Convert to PCB., but if you do modifications to the schematic, by using the Update PCB button you can immediately be passed forward to update the selected PCB without having the PCB editor window already open or without creating a new PCB file. A universal file viewer is the way to go when you have PCB files that can’t be opened by any other program. Install a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download) and see if it will open your PCB file. Remember that if your file is not compatible, the universal file viewer will only open it in binary format.


CannotCanI copied EaglePCB_2_FreeCAD into the /Mod folder, and I now can open *.brd files.
The PCB is displayed, but where do I need to place the 3D models components ?
What is the naming convention for these parts?
