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 addition to the schematic itself. Import goes ahead but gives blank project.
Two options:
1. If someone with Mentor can load the project and generate the schematic library file (in DxDesigner/Expedition format) for me to try importing that.
2. (Lazy option for me!) If someone who has both Mentor and Altium can convert to Altium. I have Altium 17, so the Altium version is not critical. A quick conversion is VERY acceptable, as long as the components are all there.
The files are attached.
Note:
- Another Edaboard member who helped with the PCB export said the SCH files appear to be in Mentor Expedition 7.9.4 format.
Many thanks,
