Hello,
Protel exports the older SDT version of OrCAD. More unfortunate is that Protel does
not export the parts you need. Therefore, Protel does not export to OrCAD at all.
When you open an SCH file, OrCAD looks for the SDT.CFG file to find where the parts
are located for the SDT schematics. Without these parts, only the wires make it
through.
You should have an SDT.CFG file in the 'samples' directory of the OrCAD installation.
The process may not be worth your time. However, if you still wish to tackle the
import, I will do what I can and my time allows.
Cheers!
Drew
