    Translating Mentor DxDesigner/Expedition SCH files to Altium

    Hi, I need to convert the Mentor DxDesigner/Expedition SCH files for a Dev Board to Altium format. Altium can import DxDesigner / Expedition but this has failed. It appears to be a similar problem to what I have experienced with Orcad import, where a schematic library file was needed in...

    Neede Help translating Allegro PCB files to Altium Designer PCB files

    Hi Monica, To do it without Allegro installed you need an Allegro export in *.ALG format (not *.BRD). Note: this can end up being a large file (several 100MBs!). So, you need someone with Allegro to generate the *.alg. I do not have Allegro, but have previously found support with this exact...

    Translating Xilinx KCU105 DxDesigner Schematic and Allegro Board file to Altium

    Hi BigBoss, FYI...import went ok. Early indication is some issues with via sizes and resultant clearance issues...but definitely something I can work with. I will start a separate thread to see if someone can help with schematic import. Many thanks!

    Translating Xilinx KCU105 DxDesigner Schematic and Allegro Board file to Altium

    Hi BigBoss, Many thanks. Importing the alg file at the moment. With each passing second the processor is grinding exponentially closer to a halt. With any luck it will be finished later tonight. I will explore the Expedition route for the schematic. How do I reimburse you for your efforts? Luke

    Translating Xilinx KCU105 DxDesigner Schematic and Allegro Board file to Altium

    Hi BigBoss, Do you have DxDesigner and / or Allegro? If so: - For the SCH - would you be able to generate a schematic library file and possibly be able to export the design in an earlier version of DXDesigner (if it is available as an option...I am hoping we have the same issue as with Orcad...

    Translating Xilinx KCU105 DxDesigner Schematic and Allegro Board file to Altium

    Hi Bigboss, Thanks for your offer, but... Altium does have importers for various formats, but the usability is dependent on various factors: - In some cases it will only do a successful import if source library files are included (eg. Orcad) - The import quality can often be better if the...
