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

Hi James,

One option:
Translate PADS Powerlogic schematic to OrCAD Capture
www.elgris.com can do it for a fee. 
They can sell  the tool to translate PADS2OrCAD too.
Then use translated OrCAD schematic with Allegro.

Second option:
Translate PADS Powerlogic to DxDesigner. Mentor has internal translator.
Export Allegro Netlist from a DxDesigner schematic.
If you don't have DxDesigner and Allegro interface you will 
have issues with backannotation.

Third option :
Export PCB netlist from PADS Powerlogic. Look for a netlist conversion
utility to convert it to Allegro netlist. 
You might have issues as the schematic->board link will not work that
well.

Regards
