Appreciate if the forum/ TI technical support could say how can import a refrence design DSN file to Altium.

I want this "2-Port USB 3.0 Hub Reference Design" but my Altium does not recognize the file.

Thanks

Hi Ramin,

Use the import wizard under the file menu and follow the prompts for importing the .dsn into allegro.

Hi Michael

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am using Import wizard for orcad files in Altium 15 and I get this message:

Hi Ramin,

What version of cadence is the file? Newer versions of cadence do not import into Altium so you will have to down convert it. I read through the Altium wiki on importing .DSN files to find this information.

Actually this is the CAD file that I downloaded from this page:

http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00287

there is no version on them and I do not know how to open and convert them.
