If the file was handed to you like that then there isnt much you can do. When you export out, there should be a dialog with options to select connections, attributes, parts, traces etc. I generally select all, and export to a 2.x version. so that it filters and drops PADs newe attributes.

Re: [PEDA] Importing PADS 3.5
The pattern below repeats over and over in the PADS .ASC file, there are no listings of tracks connecting the components. We think that this file is only a listing of the board components and not a true representation of the board. Hopefully a complete .ASC file will allow the board to be imported.

Re: [PEDA] Importing PADS 3.5
With this 3.5 file I'm getting an error message for every component saying that the footprint can't be found and the component can't be imported. I've got my available libraries opened but the board is from another designer who's libraries I don't have. Any work around? Thanks, Frank Langlois Project Development P.O.

I own up to PADs 3.5 but have found exporting to an ASCII version around 2.X works best. The layer mapping is generally correct and less can wrong because many of the PADs "attributes" dont get in the way of the conversion.

[PEDA] Importing PADS 3.5
Is there still a problem with importing PADS PowerPCB V3.5 files? What is the best PADS version to convert the file to before importing to Protel? Thanks, Frank Langlois Project Development P.O.
