Colin, Thats what I thought too when I mentioned Keyin netlist in previous post. I thought for sure Orcad if not others can export a compatible netlist to Expedition, also I new it would take in a netlist. That realy is the issue whether or not the format is there not that it can't do a netlist based design.
