Also footprint names should be same as their PADS footprints library. To do this go to net list dialog box and select other and in their you have two netlister for PADS. Good Luck!

They use PADs and requested a netlist file. I know orcad creates .dat files, I'm asking can these files be used to create a .pcb file? Is the DSN file sufficient? I don't much about PADs, hopefully someone here can help. We have Cadence, they have PADs.

Capture is often the schematic preferred choice for PADs users. David At 10:05 AM 1/25/2012, you wrote: Group, Can I use the netlist from Orcad and import into pads? I'm using Cadence 16.3 and our other site is using Mentor's PADs.
