How to export logic from PCB editor?

zfan

Title says.

Is there anyway I can visually see the logic of a board file? I'm using a generated netlist to feed PCB editor but no design file. A pity to be sure that I can't export .brd into capture

    Yes...there are several methods.  What style netlist do you want to see?  The "internal" version that Cadence has been using since it was Valid is the de-facto version used between both Concept and Capture.  However, try Export->Logic and the old school "Telesis" format which is ASCII is generated.

    Thanks for the reply! But somehow I can't find the option to export telesis in Orcad PCB 17.2

    and what I really need is to extract logic from existing .brd or netlist files "pstchip.dat","pstxprt.dat" and "pstxnet.dat". Board file shows chips but can I see a view of gate level?

    You need Export>More>Netlist w/Properties using the OrCAD menus. That will get you a "third-party" netlist, that will be a list of Packages and Connections, Device Files will be required to reuse the third-party netlist, you can create those from File>Export>Libraries (Export>More>Libraries from the OrCAD menus)
