you are talking about SDT-3 format. i'm making SDT-4 format which is
vetor only and uses compose32.exe to compily the library
that should do it.

so i will tackle the orcad library the same way. the translateor is then
a piece of cake.
once that done i might tackle the schematic formats to construct a
protel 'viewer'

i sent the file to darren moore who will post in on yahoo grousp site.
in progress for today : adding a file browser , fixing the arc problem ,

keep in mind that t
send me one of those altera txt files . i'll write you a a generator.

yes yes yes . my protel reader works ( including a viewer. ) i spent 2
hours coding it.
now i want to spit out orced files

so far i have a program that can sucessfully read the protel schematic
libraries , browse them and display them on the screen. i'm still
tinkering with polygons as orcad doesn't know those.
still to be done arcs and rounded rectangles.
basically all pins , labels , lines and rectangles show up
okay . who got the format specs . i'll write this thing .
i am willing to shar eout the convertro on the forum here for free.

well maybe some of the pespi (orcad ) drinkers might forget about
putting it in their mouth and discover a whole new taste that they
actually might like . Maybe even this way : orcad based comapny has a
group of protel designer that imports the orcad files , wraps em up and
spits em back out t
okay . anyone out there that has a solution ?.
we are getting desperate. the company might force us to abandon protel
altogether and move to orcad schematic and layout. and frankly i don't
want to do that ( not after 10 years )
I tried a couple of tyhings but i'm always stuck with missing parts
well i have had good success using the SDT files. on the first try all
wires , ports and nets come up correclty.
only part that is missing are the symbols themselves.
so if there were a way to translate my protel ibrary to orced. this
woudl be a one step conversion : save as sdt , open in orcad

i stand corrected. yep it slipped my mind that under win2k you indeed
have 3 chunks but , so under 2k you indeed have some more leeway but the
thing still stands : gone is gone , no matter how many gigs of ram you
have in the box.
thanks for spotting this one.

since you have only that on thse layers no need to have the pouring

that should speed it up somewhat
