Hi Dharma, I've never heard of this being done, so I don't know if Valor can read in the PADS .asc file. Interesting. You might post this question to www.pcbstandards.com/forums or www.pcblibraries.com/forum since they deal more exclusively with the PADS tools. Tom Hausherr would know offhand, and he reads both lists. Hope this helps. Good day.
