COULD ANYBODY HELP ME OUT FOR

Converting Altium (PROTEL) *.PCB/DDB/PCBDOC to Orcad *.MAX
 

pcbdoc viewer

Orcad Layout (MAX) has an importer built into it for importing Protel PCB files. You don't need to do any conversion outside of Orcad.
 

.ddb file format

In Altium save as Protel PCB v2.8, then import in Orcad Layout.
 

ddb viewer

If it's a newer version of Orcad Layout, you don't need to save in 2.8 format. Newer versions will directly import 99SE files.

If you want, you can ZIP or RAR your Protel file and PM it to me. I'll see if I can convert it into a MAX file for you. At the very least, I can save it in a better format such as PCB or PCBDoc for you.

Your converted files have been sent as attachments to both your PM, and the address in your post.

The converted versions look OK to me, but if you see any problems let me know.
