[PEDA] imported footprint

2004-02-06 Thread bob stephens 
I have imported an Orcad .DSN project into DXP and need to modify the design
and re-layout the board. The imported files resulted in four SchDoc's, one
PCB and one SchLib - my question is how do I extract the footprint
information for the components from the PCB? The schematic symbols are all
in the SchLib, but I'd like to reuse the custom SMD footprints without
having to remake them all from scratch. Does anyone know a way to do this?

TIA

Bob Stephens

You should still be able to use the Design, Make PCB Library tool in the DXP
PCB editor assuming you have saved the .max file as a Protel PCB file.
