Hi Mike,
I have been working with importing Orcad files without any substantial problems, other
than a situation where netlist labels were shifted off of the interconnecting lines on
a schematic. This took me a few hours to figure out as the shift was only by a few
pixels on the screen, so it was hard to detect. Once this problem was resolved I had
no further problems with schematics.
The Orcad PCB's I have imported have had a few problems also, but no show stoppers.
An unusual footprint didn't convert properly, but this was related to how it had been
defined in Orcad.
Exporting to Orcad version 9.2 has been a problem however. For some reason Orcad
keeps reporting pin out of range and halts the importation. We even tried a bare
board without components and still got the same error. This was a show stopper, and
has not been resolved yet.
Translation was between Orcad 9.2 and Protel 99SE SP6.
Cheers,
Bruce Williams, CNE, CET

Subject: [PEDA] Does newest version of Orcad import well into Protel...
has anyone had any problem with importing Orcad libraries, schematic and pcb
files into Protel99SE?
Conversely, any problem exporting to Orcad (newest version)?
Lastly, does the Spectra interface work well?
Thanks.
