My company just switched from PADS Power PCB to PCAD2001 . Is there any way to convert the PADS library into A PCAD2001 library? I have about 1200 parts so it...
... Odd that this was posted to this list, which is for Protel users. PCAD may be owned by the same company (Altium) as Protel, but.... The basic procedure...
Hi, I am trying to design the schematic component and footprint for a momentary switch that is used in a matrix keypad situation. The switch has 4 pins, but...
Just design the part with pins 1,2,3 and 4 as is shown on the switch. On the schematic, connect a wire from 1 to 3 and another wire from 2 to 4. This will...
Jason, I think that I have encountered the exact same switch before in several designs, and the way that I resolved it was to make a symbol that showed the ...
The way I do this is as follows.... Number the functionally identical contacts the same, i.e. the switch PCB footprint has two pin '1's and two pin '2's. The...
Just a small warning - some switches with internal connections also require an external connection between the pins. I know it sounds odd, but a couple of...
Dear all, I am currently in the process of manually laying out a small multi- layer pcb which requires some smt components (ICs and discretes) to be placed on...
... Yes - when moving the components (while dragging them) hit the 'L' key to swap the to the bottom layer. They will flip correctly. Do not use the X or the...
Hello, Im kind of new here, so please be patient with me :) Im looking for Protel PCB footprints for USB connectors (sp. plug Type A) and also for...

Ian, Thanks for the info. I was primarily referring to human errors when flipping ICs because the pins would be mirrored. I know protel flips them correctly, I...
I post it here, techserv seems down..... Hi all, I have been using PSE99SP6 for the last four months and while composing my second design I discovered...
Ricky: You can find PCB libraries at the Protel website http://www.protel.com/resources/libraries/index.html Also you can copy parts into a library from a PCB...
... Geoff Harland (now with Altium but not when this was undertaken) and myself were developing an add-on server that inverted a PCB - it did this by actually...
... It is unclear to me what this part does, my OrCAD memories are fading, it has been a while. It sounds to me like Leo is, with a multipart component, making...
Leo, Here is a letter I posted last year. Point 5 below may be the key to your problem. Gyula *************************************************** There used...
Hi experts, I tried to post this on PEDA, but cannot do so. Mails to PEDA bump. My problem is the following: I want to delete a power plane from my PCB. I...
sorry, I did not edit the thread topic in my mail before. Hi experts, I want to delete a power plane from my PCB. I deleted all primitives on that plane and...
To answer my own question: There was a tiny piece of arc on that plane that I had overlooked. Mit freundlichem Gruß Kind regards Gisbert Auge N.A.T. GmbH ...

... Actually I think I said it is very safe to do it in Protel. If you are using a netlist from a schematic there is very little chance of mis-wiring. In...
Thank you experienced users, for enlightening me on this subject, I think I understand the mechanics of it now: the pin _needs_ to be hidden in order to get...
... Could you just use one of the power symbols that don't show text? There are a couple of ground and earth symbols. Maybe I missed something when reading...
Loc Tran, First, you would get a better response if you posted directly to the "protel-users" group, rather than the "protel-users-library" group, or even...
Hi everybody, my greetings to all the members of the list. Please excuse me if my question here is quite elementary for the list level. This is mi first try...
