How to get the legacy netlist format ?

JM HH

Unfortunately we have to rework something very old and in order to do that we have to use part of the old work flow. So we need to generate a netlist as it once was in the old OrCAD ... just name of the Net, name of the package and name of the pin ... like this (nothing else) :

PCI_TRST          J1                            A1
PCI_AD31          J1                           B20
PCI_AD31          U1                            38
Q_D31             U7                            21
Q_D31             U3                            64
Q_D31             U2                           105
Q_D31             U1                             8
PCI_TCLK          J1                            B2
PCI_AD30          J1                           A20

...

Is there a way to get something like this ? I see lots and lots of netlist formats and various formatting options, but nothing seems to come close. Thanks in advance!

    Try Tools>Create Netlist, Other tab, orMultiwir.dll format, that looks like what you need.

    WOW !!! Thanks a lot. I must have checked about 80% of all these DLLs, never getting anything usefull, but missed that one :-(. Great. It even still adds the unwanted -1 to the end :-). I think that solves it completely.
