Import Schematic from Mentor Tanner to Cadence

HwDoesThisWork

Hi,

I've recently migrated to Cadence from Mentor. Could you please let me know if there is a way to import my Mentor S-edit files into Cadence?

I would really appreciate the help, since this would save me hours of schematic redrawing.

Thanks!

    You've posted this in the wrong forum - this is a forum for feedback, suggestions, and questions about the forum itself, not for technical questions. I can move it into the right forum and (possibly) answer it, but first you're going to have to say which Cadence tool you're using. There is no tool called "Cadence", so you might be talking about "Capture" for the PCB world, or "Virtuoso Schematic Editor" for the IC world. Please clarify...

    Hi, sorry I was not aware of that.
    I meant that I want to import an existing schematic drawn in Mentor Tanner (S-edit) into Virtuoso Schematic Editor.

    Given that the storage format for S-Edit is EDIF (or a variant of EDIF), the best route is to use the EDIF export from the S-Edit tools and then import that into Virtuoso. I've had good success with that, although I have had to do some pre- and post-processing to clean things up - sometimes due to PDK incompatibilities, sometimes due to limitations/bugs in both EDIF interfaces (in the source and destination tool). You may want to try this and if you have trouble, please contact customer support - although it might need a service if the work needed is extensive.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
