Actually, the 99SE ASCII data structure is self-documenting and therefore quite easy to write. I'd skip the 2.8 step entirely. Just take an empty PCB and add the needed primitives to it. To see how to write a primitive record, place a primitive similar to what you want to write in that empty PCB and see what is added to the file (save all files in ASCII format using Save As). ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: 3FEBE7142EC4FA4E9921F182F27F3C73DB9AC61B * ************************************************************************ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
