[PCB_FORUM] Re: protel to allegro

Schematic transfers easily.  
 
For the PCB I recently did this.  I found someone with a Protel to PADS
translator, and then I was able to bring in the PADS to Allegro.  It was not
great, but it was still worth it.  What came over well were pins, routes,
positive pours, ref des(one class only), board outline.  Messed up were
negative planes, part outlines.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] protel to allegro



Good morning all

I have a potential customer asking about old Protel data and schematic
archives. He has the old archives and needs some edits made and then move
forward to a new layout. Since I use Allegro studio and have never been
asked to do such a translation I was hoping someone here could set me
straight as to whether or not I can even make old Protel files compatible
with Allegro or translate them into useable Orcad Capture files.
