Hi guys,

Our company decided to use Electronics Workbench as our main CAD tool (schematic and routing). However a few clients ask for the CAD files in a given format (ex. OrCAD or PADS). What do you guys do with such cases? I mean, we are not to maintain a license or more of many CAD softwares, even more so that we would have to maintain a part database and a footprint database for each software!!! And it seems that it's near to impossible to convert files between different softwares.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I don't think that its possible to convert Electronics workbench files into orcad or pads or any other.

As this s/w does not come into professional category.so there are very fewer chances of 3rd party tool.

Many tools use the ASCII/ EDIF file formats which can get imported/exported between tools.

Maybe you can check if some thing like this avaialble on your tool.

Good Luck!
