OrCAD OLB (schematic library) files will be translated into Altium Designer schematic library files (*.SchLib).

OrCAD library files translate as follows: Design hierarchy is maintained, including complex hierarchy DSN file will be imported as a schematic library (*.SchLib). DSN file will be imported as a single Altium Designer schematic file (*.SchDoc).

OrCAD Capture (*.DSN) files translate to Altium Designer schematic files.

Files in the Import Wizard translate as follows: If you are using OrCAD CaptureРІвЂћСћ Schematic files in combination with your PADS Layout PCB designs, you can still use the Import Wizard. Using the Import Wizard for OrCAD Capture Designs Turning the Override Pad Inner Value option on means that imported pads will have their sizes on the midlayers set to the largest size found. You'll need to decide what is best for your situation.

The disadvantage to using this is that Default Layer Mapping is not always intelligent with differing structures in designs, and so some manual changes may be needed afterwards.

In this instance, the default layer mapping will be saved to your Preferences. The advantage to importing in this manner is that batch management of layer mapping can save a lot of time when importing multiple designs.

The rationale here is that should you wish to import ten PCB designs and you want to map the layer Assembly 1 to Mechanical Layer 1, you would not have to customize each of the ten PCB designs in order to get the right layer mapping. This mapping is used by the Import Wizard to build the layer mapping for each PCB that can then be individually customized. Of course you can change as many mappings as you want as only suggested default mappings are given. Layer Mapping is simply a mapping between the names of the PADS PCB layers and Altium Designer PCB layers. It should be noted about how the layers are mapped on import for PCB designs. There are additional options provided to control the automatic creation of design rules, missing vias and keep-out conversions as well. Layer Mapping for PADS PCB ASCII FilesР”Р„ll used PADS PCB layers must be mapped to an Altium Designer layer prior to import when using the Import Wizard. Use the Layer Mapping Options from the Edit Mapping button in the Import Wizard to associate PADS PCB layers to Altium Designer layers. These files will be grouped into an Altium Designer PCB project (*.PrjPCB) that is automatically created.

PADS ASCII PCB Library files translate as follows translate into Altium Designer PCB library files (*.PcbLib).

PADS ASCII PCB Layout (*.ASC) files translate to Altium Designer PCB files (*.PcbDoc).

Right-click pop-up menus are available for further control over the translation process through each page of the wizard.Р”Р‡iles in the Import Wizard translate as follows: Click on this menu command to invoke the wizard. The Import Wizard can be launched from the Altium Designer File menu. Using the Import Wizard for PADS Layout Files This application note assumes this combination. Many PADSР’В® users use a combination of PADS LayoutР’В® for their PCB layout and OrCAD CaptureРІвЂћСћ for their schematic capture. Complete flexibility is found in all pages of the Wizard, giving you as little or as much control as you would like over the file translation settings, before committing to the actual translation process. The Import Wizard removes much of the headache normally found with design translation by analyzing your files and offering many defaults and suggested settings for project structure, layer mapping, PCB footprint naming, and more. Translating complete PADS LayoutР’В® designs, including PCB files and library files can all be handled by Altium Designer's Import Wizard. Getting Started - Transferring Your PADS Layout Designs
