Thanks, Mr. Lomax. Protel did respond to my inquiry about PCAD translation concerns and there is a link, but it does not jump out at you. This readme is moreover geared to SP5. http://www.protel.com/download/server/pcad_translation_pack/pcadtranslationp ackreadme.txt In my experience, long files names make the translator choke. An annoyance with the translator is the rotation and misplacement of designators and part values. This is very much true with the OrCAD stuff. Still, having something is better than nothing.
