Hello,

Found on the web a reference to xconvert - says it ships with Eagle and
can convert OrCad netlist format (multiwire) - so, where is that?

I see the utils in the users area - most of those are > 9 yrs old - are
you guys serious about us using that (with confidence)?

If I can't import OrCad netlists successfully - it's a deal killer for
me. Good thing the 30-day money back guarantee is there.

Thanks And Regards,
John

xconvert was developed in the late 80s and came with EAGLE 2 and 3.
It no longer part of the EAGLE distribution.
There are available some newer user contributed tools in the
Downlaod area. Please check for example importbom_and_netlist.zip
in the ULP directory.

I have it in 4.16, right in the bin directory.

Export from Orcad a 'Multiwire' Netlist. Then you can run xconvert to
create a script, which creates the netlist in a board.
You must have all parts laid on the board to connect.

Unfortunately you can not import a netlist to a schematic.

Cheers
