Not all design work is done in Altium Designer. If you are new to Altium Designer, you will undoubtedly have designs in some other file format – either from an older Altium design solution, or some other EDA vendor tool. Even if you are an existing user of Altium Designer day-in, day-out, there may be times where you are presented with a design created outside of Altium Designer. Supporting your need to work with design files in other formats and from other tools, install this plugin to import P-CAD Schematic designs files, including:
- P-CAD V16 or V17 Binary Schematic design files (*.sch).
- P-CAD V16 or V17 ASCII Schematic design files (*.sch).
Import is performed using the
Import Wizard (
File»Import Wizard). The
Import Wizard will guide you through the steps involved in the import process.
You have full control over where the generated Altium Designer files are to be located, by specifying a directory for design files, as applicable to the P-CAD files chosen for import.
Note: To use the Wizard to import P-CAD PCB design and library files, you will need to also install the
Importer - ACCEL plugin.
