Hi, Can anyone please tell me if they had any success with and tell me how to export OrCAD layout back to PADS. When the new ASC file is opened in PADS, it is all a mess. You see the old footprints and the tracks are all over the place. My procedure: 1. Import PADS V4.0 pcb to OrCAD Layout 9.2.3 (The ASC file from my client imports fine. It is in V1.5 & Basic units) 2. Edit OrCAD layout (I added new footprints & did some new routing) 3. Export OrCAD layout back to PADS in ASC file format, using the original ASC import file. Any help will be of great help. Thanks. Dewald Stevens
