Schematic transfer Eagle to P-CAD

e14 Contributor

Hello,

 

All my major clients have different CAD systems, some old, some new. So

now there is a new one and they still use P-CAD. Is there are way to

translate my Eagle schematics to P-CAD? I am using 4.16r2.

 

Not that I have high hopes that there is but it can't hurt to ask.

    Hmm ... so I guess there ain't no way to do this.

     

    Anyhow, meantime I had to do the first review and I ended up revising

    their schematics using <ahem, cough, clears throat> ... MS-Paint image

    Normally, the problem is not mainly at EAGLEs side. You can /export/ the

    complete design data in about any possible format by using ULPs. But

    does P-CAD (for example) have some interface to /import/ a complete

    schematic?

     

    However, care must be taken on different approaches regarding devices

    and how they are referenced. Maybe you'd need some database for

    translation between the two systems (the ULP could make use of that

    database, so the output file could eventually be imported to the target

    system without further modifications).

     

    As an example, Target 3001 (luckily I don't need to use that...) offers

    import of EAGLE designs by providing a specific export ULP - IIRC. The

    exported file can then be imported to Target.
