In the $500 Circuit Studio is there an import tool that will import schematics and PCB layout files from Designer?
The schematic files (.schdoc) and some library types (.schlib, .pcblib, .intlib) are directly compatible and can be opened by either application. The PCB does need to go through an import process. From Designer save as binary 5 format and then import into CS. Recent versions of Designer include an importer to read the CS .cspcbdoc file.
Just to let everyone know we've added a Knowledge Base article covering this subject in more detail.
