Hi

If I remember correctly you can import from from ic5 to ic6, try icfb->Tools->Conversion Tool box->CDB to OpenAccess translator.

Hi

Yes, you should to convert old libraries, as Sarge mentioned and you can run command “cdb2oa” (without quotation marks) in terminal to do this.

No. Lib import don't work very well. You'd better apply for a new 61 Lib from foundry.
