Translate PADS schematic to OrCAD

zeebo

I am using PADS9 for schematic and PCB. My ODM partner in Asia is using OrCAD capture CIS 10.5 for schematic. What's the best way to translate the PADS schematic file to OrCAD capture ? Thanks.

    Hi

    I would recommend that you contact Igor at Elgris Technologies www.elgris.com - they have a PADS2OrCAD translator or can do translation as a service. The translation quality I've seen from them is very high quality.

    If they do it as a service they guarantee that the netlist from Capture has the exact same connectivity as the one from PADS. If you then decide to buy the tools, then you'll get their configuration files used for your translation service (they know all the tricks in the book to get a good translation)

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards

    Ole
