Re: [PEDA] Re[2]: Hard Look at other Programms
Colin, Thats what I thought too when I mentioned Keyin netlist in previous post. I thought for sure Orcad if not others can export a compatible netlist to Expedition, also I new it would take in a netlist. That realy is the issue whether or not the format is there not that it can't do a netlist based design.

I am currently working on three boards that had their schematics and netlists generated in OrCAD, and am frequently doing the same with designs originating in Protel. Did you work through the example (using a Keyin netlist as the source) that I emailed to you on June 8th? The process (essentially) in OrCAD is to generate a netlist in Integra format, with a package(footprint) specific part value as the Combined property string. Then in Expedition, have a PDB (Parts DataBase) entry for each of the footprints used in the design, and you're ready to start placement. Best regards, Colinmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I find it hard to believe you can't take in a netlist though?? MRE Hard to believe its true. I even went to a full day workshop for Mentor, MRE The reps choked when I asked them if it supported an external netlist. I MRE would have purchased the product two months ago if it did.

Re: [PEDA] Re[2]: Hard Look at other Programms
Colin, My apologies if I am wrong about the netlist. I was unable to do anything with it nor were any Mentor reps able to help me at the time. (JUN-July of this year) I might attend another workshop later this month and am going to work outside of their canned demo and get some factory engineers to help. From my comments you can see that I am leaning towards Expedition anyway. Its price/ performance is unparralled.
