Hi all, Just got a few schematics and a library in Orcad format from the Atmel website. The schematics load ok (minus the parts in the .lib file), but when I try to load the lib file, Protel (99SE) tells me DECOMP.EXE must be in the path when trying to imort Orcad libraries. Any ideas where I can aquire this DECOMP.EXE?
Terry,
There is an article at Premier EDA Solutions's site "Migrating data from OrCAD SDT/386+" that explains all necessary deails: http://www.eda.co.uk/download/orcadrev2.pdf
Decomp.exe is OrCad's utility - part of OrCad SDT III/IV package. I'm not sure whether it's available as a standalone software. It is used to convert OrCad libraries form binary format to ascii.
I still have OrCad IV installed on my computer so I may convert the library for you - just send it offline.
Some time ago we moved from OrCad IV to Protel and I converted several old projects. My experience is that going through OrCad Capture as a "transfer tool" produces much better results than importing directly from OrCad SDT. The only problem is that you need an access to OrCad Capture. I used to have such an access and it was great - it saved me a lot of post-import cleaning.
