Unable to import files in OrCAD

Question

Hi Everyone, 
 I am trying to Import Altium files in OrCAD by performing the following steps 
 
 File >> Import >> Altium Translator >> Browse the PrjPCB file >> Translate 
 
 I am getting the following error when i perform it 
 
 But I am able to import with the help of ASCII format and also with .SchDoc 
 Can anybody provide the solution

This error generally occurs when the schematic design in Altium is not saved in an Advanced Schematic ascii (ASCII) format. The Schematic has to be saved to ASCII format within Altium. This replace the original binary file by its ASCII equivalent. Once you save the design in the ASCII format in Altium, you should be able to import the Altium design into OrCAD Capture without any error. 
 You can see more details about Importing Altium Schematic in OrCAD Capture by going to File > Import > Altium Schematic Translator > Help. 
 
 Hope this helps!
