Hello All,

Yes, I have got many offers from several differnt people.  I just need to confirm with the customers if they will allow other people to view the information.  I appreciate everyones help.  I will post as soon as I get the answer from the customer.  I believe he is trying to figure something else by himself also.

Thank you all!

Hi,

 

I think the suggestion was that many of us on this list also have PADS and could translate the database from binary to ASCII for you if you were able to release the database to someone who could do this.

 

Regards,

 

Austin

Tony,

I think that the our customer oursourced to a company that used PADS.  Now they are running Allegro and I dont' think they have access to PADS either.  I will ask the Engineer to see if they have anyone in the company working with PADS.  Thank you for the ideas.

Thank you,

Seiji,

 

You could ask if you can get the database in ASCII format. Is that am option?

Hi Shiva,

The evaluation program does not allow me to use the File/Export command.  I think that there is no way to get around this :(

Please let me know if there are other options.

Thank you

Hi seiji

Place all the cmponents using eco in pads and then export to ascii format and now u can import that into allegro and do export libraries. hope this helps.

Seiji,

 

Is the PADS database in binary or ASCII? If it is ASCII  then you can read the database into Cadence Allegro and then extract the library  from

that. If it is binary then I think you are out of luck.

 

Thanks

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Extracting symbol  from PADs then into Allegro

Hi all,

 

I recently received a PADS board with a symbol I would like to  extract if it's possible. The customer does not have a datasheet for  this part for some reason and wants me to extract the data from the PADs  board.  We do not have PADS and I have downloaded the evaluation from  Mentor.  Is it possible to export this library and import into allegro  format or does anyone have a better suggestion? 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Seiji
