Looking at the Protel download site the PCAD importer for 99SE still says PCAD 2000 and does not mention 2001. It has been a year or more since I tried the importer so I can't remember much.

Re: [PEDA] P-CAD Importation
Thanks, Robert. I tried to import it both the ASCII (.PDF) and the default (.PCB) formats. he .PCB attempt produced the "Unrecognised File Format" error, with a suggestion that ACCEL files should be loaded as ASCII. So I renamed the file .PDF and tried to import. All I got was a black screen, and a check of Layers Used gave none. What version of Protel did you use to import the P-CAD files? And, do you recall the P-CAD version they were generated under? I've since been told the files I have were done under P-CAD 2001/SP1.

I seem to recall something about the import being ascii format not binary. But then my memory has been known to be faulty at times. I imported one or two pcad files a while back more for testing than anything since most of the pcad support my boss has been doing since he knows it better. Also I'd rather he got to do the cussing at the way our former employees stupidly did their designs (like routing tracks on power planes using two different layers). Robert D.

[PEDA] P-CAD Importation
Good day, all; I've been asked to revise a PCB generated under P-CAD. I'm using '99SE/SP6. On trying to import the .PCB file, I get the message "Unsupported File Format". On trying to import the .Sch file, I get a system crash due to an illegal driver call.. The native files are dated 10/06/01, so may be in a pre- P-CAD 2001 format. Has anyone successfully imported older P-CAD PCB or .SCH files?
