Opening a 6.1 schematic in ver. 5.1.41

mk123

Hi, 

I have some schematics in the OA version 6.1 and I need to read them in the earlier Cadence version of 5.1.41. Is there a way to do this? Copying them and opening them didn't work as the way schematics are saved in 6.1 is different. Is there a script to do the conversion?

 Thanks,

  •  Thanks Andrew and Lawrence!

    I did generate the lib.defs file and could convert the schematics successfully. The target directory however, also needs to have a cds.lib ( in this case, as I am converting to 5.1.41) with all the libraries referred by the database in lib.defs but for cdb. I had to create cds.lib and define libraries manually.This wasn't very clear from the help files.

    Thanks again!
