Convert Altium Designer SchDoc to Capture CIS

          Hello,

          I trying to convert my AD sch files to capture CIS,  there are several sch files in my AD project, but when I convert them, only one file would be 

converted successfull.  How can I convert the other files? 

The original files:

          

In Capture CIS, use Altium schematic translator to do it:

         After that, only the PA5_Connectors sch file has been converted.

    Check to make sure that you have an ascii version of each of the different pages of the Altium schematic, you can also check the prjPCB file (open in a text editor) references all these different pages. If that doesn't help then you may need to send the ascii files and prjPCB file over to Cadence support / Channel Partner so they can look further.

    Elgris Technologies, Inc has its own Altium->OrCAD schematic translator. If there are issues in Altium Importer provided with OrCAD, then
    check about Elgris's solution. Elgris has its own Altium->OrCAD translator that was in use for quite a while and its conversion quality should be better.
