[PCB_FORUM] Re: Importing PADS logic netlist into Allegro boards?

Hi Jim,

.asc I believe.  Again, you need to do an ASCII out form PADS and then an
import PADS in Allegro.  You can simply go to import/PADS and see what
filenames it's looking for.

Best Regards,

Austin

  Thanx Austin,

  Luckily, this will be a brand new Allegro database, so I won't have to
transpose any existing layout data.

  Can you tell me the file name extensions exported from PADS Logic? For
example, .dat, tel, etc.  or does it even matter?

  Thanx in advance. Apparently, not many folks do this sort of input, cuz
you're the only one that responded.

  Once again, thank you.

  Also,

  Hi Jim,



  Allegro can import PADS ASCII files.  It comes in pretty well.  I did a
few boards last year using this.  Shapes had to be redone, and some other
stuff...but it really was pretty good.



  Best Regards,



  Austin

    Has anyone had experience importing a PADS logic schematic netlist into
Allegro? I have a potential ( and very much needed) new customer that would
have some steady work for me if I can do this.

    Would really appreciate any help or advice.
