PCB files formats

  • Hello.

    I can't open PCB and gerber files of 355 and 365-th projects. What format is used for that files?

    Can I get PCAD, ORCAD or other usefull files?

  • the PCB is based on PowerPCB, not PCAD or OrCAD format.

  • Is it possible to get an ASCII file or another format that can be imported?

  • Yes, you can, but I don't think you can import to other platform.

  • If you can save the layout in ascii and check the boxes to include .lib files, then it can be imported into Altium.

     

  • Hello,

    Has anyone gotten the ASCII files? I confirm that it should work on multiple platforms (especially Altium DXP)

    Could Leopard Imaging please share it on the website? I need it urgently!!

     

  • I have taken demo Mentor PADs Viewer on their site (do not leave actual email) and I can see PCB.

  • Yeah me too I can see them but cannot export them unless I'm buying the full version... It's very annoying!
