Here's how: 1. create a project library (libarch.exe) to simplify the rest of the procedure 2. decompile (decomp.exe) that library (P99SE doen't understand binary libraries) 3. vectorise (vector.exe) it (P99SE doesn't understand the old bitmaps) 4. open a new library project in P99SE and import the library 5. save that library project 6. open a new schematic project, select your new library and import the schematic 7. cleanup the schematic and library parts as necessary The parts in the new library will look rather ragged, but are fine. On my system, all designators in the schematic ended up in the same spot in a big pile. To correct that, simply select all (S,A) and rotate 360 degrees. That will put all part fields in their default positions. But it just might be quicker to redraw it all from scratch and use a netlist compare to verify its correctness.

Can an existing OrCAD schematic be imported in PROTEL? Posted from Association web site by: Battisti Christoph Protel will open an OrCAD Capture .dsn file directly. I don't know if it works with the latest Capture, but I've imported files originally developed in Capture 7.x with minimal problems.

Re: [PEDA] c.battisti@vol.at
I have exchanged numerous .dsn files with a vendor who only has access to OrCAD, and the main problems we had were net label fonts and orientation getting screwed up in the schematics - off-sheet ports would have the label names on top of the symbol, or in a miniscule font. Other than that, the projects, schematics, libraries and PCB's seemed to import into DXP quite well.
