The data integration between schematic and PCB layout can be realized in TARGET 3001! menu "Input-/Output Formats/Concatenate a schematic and a pcb". See TARGET menu "Actions / Reorganisation" Currently free text elements unfortunately get lost. Because we just converted a schematic file, no layout can be there. If you now wish to open the project in TARGET 3001!. The program can also open ACCEL EDA V15 Schematic and PCB files. It works with P-CAD Schematic and PCB file versions from PCAD 2000 to PCAD 2006. The P-CAD 2006 freeware viewer is for viewing PCB files. The converter shows you succeeded in converting! P-CAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) program for Printed Circuit Board design. Gerbv lets you load several files on top of each other, do measurements on the displayed image, etc. Gerbv is an open source Gerber file (RS-274X only) viewer.
#Windows .pcb file viewer download#
Where do you want to save it? In our example we save it to the same directory. Download gerbv a Gerber (RS-274X) viewer for free. In the converter now click button "Convert". sorry for not showing english Windows (R) dialogs. In the opening dialog select it but choose "File Type": "ProtelPCBText *.PCB". Open the "Source", the ASCII-file we just generated. This is the dialog of the ASCII interface. Please open TARGET and select in menu "File" "Input-/Output Formats" and there "ASCII - Interface"
In our example we just added the letters TXT for the extension after conversion still is *.PCB.Īfter "Save" is pressed please find the converted file in the defined directory. In the following dialog choose "File Type" (extension) "Protel PCB 2.8 ASCII File (*.PCB)" and enter an appropriate name for the ASCII file, wich is now created. Pads from mentor graphics ready out of the box pads pcb tools are integrated flexible scalable easy to use. In this example the file: "Z80 Processor Board.pcb". The visecad viewer gives read only access to complete pcb schematic and layout design data in an easy to use windows application.
Highlight in Protel Design Explorer the file you wish to convert. The conversion process is described as follows:
