This didn't work last time I tried it (admittedly 8 or 9 years ago, and between Mentor BS and Allegro). -- George Patrick Tektronix, Inc. Central Engineering, PCB Design Group P.O.

Hi Bob, I'm not sure...but they are worth a try. I've always wondered why if I can get a board (say, from PADS) into Specctra (or from Allegro), that I can't get it back into the other tool...I've never tried it, but have been told it doesn't work. Mentor offers a Protel to PADS conversion utility, and I could then ASCII out from PADS into Allegro is the one I was going to try.

Protel DXP 2004 will allow you to Save As either Specctra Design File (.dsn) or a SDRC-IDF Board file (.brd) Will either of those work?
