    Nihao!

     

    Unfortunately, I did not have the information for Protel file format,

    either. I guess this issue is temporarily insoluble.

     

    I recall that Protel used to have an ASCII format for its pcbs.   I have

    no idea about what Altium supports.  A quick search on Google indicated

    that Protel PCB and Schematic libraries can be saved in an ASCII format.

      With sufficient knowledge of the Protel ASCII format (from their file

    format specifcation) and Eagle scripts it might be possible to write a

    conversion tool to create scripts to import in to Eagle libraries.

     

    There are ULPs in the download area of the Cadsoft website to export

    from Eagle to Protel e.g. export-protelpcb.ulp.  Although this is the

    opposite direction to what you want it may provide some hints for

    writing a converter.

     

    Regards

    Neil
