Hello Ashok,
I am trying to import a PADS .asc file into CS which seems to work as I get the board layout, but I don't get the pcb tracks , holes or components. Do you have a guide explaining how to import file from PADS .
The PADS export format is layout VX.
Thanks
Nick
Hello Nick,
I don't know anything about Circuit Studio, but I do use PADs (I'm still on 9.5, though, not VX). So this may not be helpful - if so, just ignore it.
Here's the dialog box in V9.5.
If you are are generating the asc file yourself, you could try one of the older formats rather than VX and see if CS is happier with one of those. Here's the asc export dialog box with the selection list dropped down (presumably, VX gives you all those plus an additional one for VX).
It might also be worth experimenting with the design units.
If the file has come from someone else, check that the sections that seem to be missing are actually in the file. As you can see, the dialog allows the designer to choose what goes in the file - they don't have to select everything.
