(This will create padstyles for your through hole components that are all defined as 60 mil round with a 38 mil hole. Select Embedded Aperture Table in the Convert Pad Definitions box. Clear what's there and set it to your library file. Open the Accel EDA PCB editor, and got to Library setup. Once cleanup is complete, generate a netlist.Д¦. Then open your other PCAD schematics and add them to the Sheet one file using the Cut & Paste options. (You may also want to cut & paste it onto a current format.) If you are converting a multi sheet schematic from PCAD, open your first sheet, create any additional sheets using the Options, Sheets. (If you used a PCAD Cross Reference file, specify that during the opening of the file.) Once the file opens, do the following: Delete all the PRT and PWGD attributes turn off the pin numbers on the discretes correct any font problems and clean up your power rails. In Library Setup, make sure to specify the library file you created above. First, open the Accel EDA Schematic editor. Now that the hard part is over, it's time to bring in and clean up the schematic & PCB AND get the two to agree. For your through hole components, you have two options, one- modify and rename the padstyles or two- leave it be and fix your pads in the PCB editor.ДҐ. Surface mount pads translate correctly so no need to worry about them. An important thing to note, when you translate your patterns or footprints, it will create padstyles for your through hole components that are 60 mil round pads with no holes. I would recommend going through your entire library to verify that everything translated correctly. Print this out and use it to clean up your newly created library of components. When it is done, it will kick up a log file of problems. For your source library, select your library2.lib file. For your destination library, select your library1.lib file. From the Library pull down, select Merge Patterns. Once you have your two files translated, it is now time to merge them. Again, this is Accel flagging something that it thinks is a problem.Д¤.

plb, it is possible that you will get a warning that looks like: Warning: The number of components pins created for AD637 does not match the number of PIN_DEF entries near line 176. Follow the same steps to translate your b file. Technically, this is not an problem just Accel flagging something it thinks is wrong. This is because it is reading the attribute for EACH gate. I would recommend doing this and maybe even printing it out if you have a lot of errors.FYI- it will flag power pins as duplicates if you used the PWGD attribute on your gates. Translating will continue and you will be given the option to view the log file at the end. Unless you used some custom layers, you can click on the OK button to accept the default. Next you will get a dialog box asking about layer mapping. (If you defined your power using the PWGD attribute on the gate and if you have only homogeneous components, you do not need to worry about a cross reference file.) Click on the Translate button at the bottom. If you used a PCAD cross reference file to define power and heterogeneous gate information, then you will need to click on the PDIF Cross Reference button and select the file. Click on the Destination Library button and enter library1 for your new library name. Click on the Source Library button and select library1.slb.

Go to the Library pull down and select translate. Make sure that you have selected the Indented option and set the Scan Reserved Characters option before you create the files.ДЈ. In the PCAD PCB module, run PDIF Writer and create PDFs for your library1.slb and b.

syms (symbols) and create a library 2.plb containing your. In the PCAD Library Management module, create a library1.slb file containing your. but to have the intelligence shared between them and in order to make changes, you need to follow these steps to get them into true Accel EDA/PCAD 2000 form.ДЎ. PCB and SCH files can be read into Accel EDA/PCAD 2000.
