Hi, Is the import only a problem for PADS files? I can't get it working with PCAD MD file either. If I leave the layer mapping "as it is", I get mainly the traces, not the pads. If I select the layer as I think they should be, Protel makes a real mess with the pads replacing them from one part to the other. I didn't give up from trying though.
