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.

 Mike

 Will you please stop saying that Expedition can't import netlists from
 other packages. 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,

 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.

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.
