Hi, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> You need to translate the board or the netlist in order to get the .asc file which is specific for PowerPCB (PADS) from Mentor Graphics. You can do that using CAMCAD Translator from RSI ( http://www.rsi-inc.com/prods_camcadpcbtrans.aspx), or Netcheck Tools from Cadpro Systems ( http://www.cadprosystems.com/netcheck.html).

(!PADS-POWERPCB-V4.0-BASIC! DESIGN DATABASE ASCII FILE 1.0) Is there a way to get this information out of Allegro? Script? Conversion? CAM program? Thanks in advance, Mark Unruh Airgo Networks
