.pcb File conversion

arydant
arydant over 9 years ago

I have a design that was provided by a contractor that we wish to convert to Altium 6.1. The .dsn file was successfully imported but the .pcb file will not import with any of the  tools provided in Altium.

The header in the .DSN file has "Orcad 10.3" in it, but the .pcb has no header info.

A .pcb file could be a LOT of things and since the schematic header says 10.3 I assume the layout is the same?

Tried opening it in CIS 10.3 but won't work.

Can anyone give me a clue what I can do to either display this database or import it?
