Hello, 

Is there a possibility to have the schema of the ICE Board diffrent the Orcad? We can only use Eagle or Altium Designer V10 files.

Or is ther a possiblility to get Orcad for free ;-) ? 

the Idea is to developp a new board on the base of the ICE-Board.

Best regards,

Andreas

    There are import tools in Altium which should make it possible to import Orcad design files. Here is a guide (http://www.altium.com/files/AltiumDesigner/s08/learningguides/AP0165%20Moving%20to%20Altium%20Designer%20from%20Cadence%20Allegro%20PCB%20Editor.pdf).

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    in general you are right, but Altium can't import Orcad 16.3 as you can read here: http://wiki.altium.com/display/ADOH/Moving+to+Altium+Designer+From+OrCAD

    "OrCAD Version 16.3

    With OrCAD V16.3 the Design Format was changed from
    OrCAD. At the moment Altium Designer 10 can not import this new file format" 

    Please save all *.dsn in the old Format by using save as. This would save all Altium users so much time.

    Thanks in advance!
