Randy,

Thanks for the assistance with the PADS library zip files. Do you have a PCI Express board outline and associated edge card connector that I can beg or buy?

Thanks,

Chris Taylor

Hi,

How do you convert the files to *.asc format so PADS can read them in? Thanks.

[randychase]

Pads reads ASCII files directly.

Randy, do these files work with Mentorized version 2007?

[randychase]

I don't have 2007 to test this with. Never bothered to upgrade after 5.0.1

They work fine, just use the conversion tool.
