Altium 14.0 to Orcad PCB Editor release 16.3

KrisR

Hi all,

I'm looking for a method of translating a .PCBDOC from a recent version of Altium into a .BRD file that I can open in Orcad PCB editor standard edition.

I have tried the Altium export of a ".BRD" file, but the file cannot be opened by Orcad PCB editor and returns an error about how the file is not valid.

I have tried exporting as an IDF, however only the board outline seems to transfer, I get an error for every footprint as "not found"

The purpose for this is to be able to make modifications to existing designs done in Altium using Orcad PCB editor.
