Hi,

I am looking at some files with .pcb and .sch extension files,
which I can't seem to open with Altium, Orcad or Eagle.

One of the files in there, a .err file contains this at the top of the
text file

*PADS-ECO-V9.4-METRIC*

*REMARK* -- Mictor_Breakout.pcb -- Tue Sep 25 14:30:23 2012

So, I guess these .pcb and .sch files were done with PADS.

Eventually, I tried with Altium to import these files, but it was
unable to complete the operation, since it was looking for .asc files

I have to .asc files also in there. Opening it in a text editor, it says

!PADS-POWERPCB-V9.0-MILS! NETLIST FILE FROM PADS LOGIC V9.4

So, It states more or less that it has been worked on with a PADS
Cad application, but trying to import the .asc files with Altium doesn't
help either.

I don't have PADS at my end. I am wondering whether I can import it
some way into Eagle or Orcad or Altium ?

Any ideas ?


Thanks,

Manu
