ORCAD_PLUGIN is a wish list item. It loads a native ORCAD board directly into Pcbnew without prior conversion to EDIF or other. Just simply works, in the same way OO can load MS Word files. > >> The OpenOffice user interface model is fine for us too. > Uhmm... I don't get it... what do you mean with 'oo user interface model'? We load the foreign files without struggle, by growing our support for and use of the PLUGIN API. This is big and bold, but it can happen over time if each smaller step is in that direction. i.e. PLUGIN centric. Generalize this thinking beyond simply ORCAD.
