Please log in for more thread options (Design Explorer 7.2.92) circa 2002. With ORCAD a Netlist is generated in Schematic Capture which is then used by Layout to generate the PCB connections. I have been unable to figure out how to do the equivalent in DXP. Several Netlist options are available in DXP schematic build, but I've been unable to see how the PCB layout portion loads these. (Or which Netlist option is the proper one to use for that matter.) Using this older rev of DXP, how do I properly transfer a schematic into a PCB layout? Thanks much in advance.

Please log in for more thread options On both Protel 99SE and the current Altium Designer, in the schematic editor, the "Design" menu contains an item called (something like) "Update PC board". This effectively creates a netlist and pushes it into the PC board. There is no need to explicitly create a netlist, nor to manually import anything into the PC design. -- Peter Bennett, VE7CEI peterbb4 (at) interchange.ubc.ca new newsgroup users info : http://vancouver-webpages.com/nnq GPS and NMEA info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter Vancouver Power Squadron: http://vancouver.powersquadron.ca | ||||||||||||||||
