Importing/Export PLogic & Capture

[Ryan Marston]

I have the need to export a title block that was created in PowerLogic (just lines and Text) and then import it into Orcad Capture.

What would be the best way to do this without screwing it up?

Thanks a lot,

I think it's impossible. Or at least I don't know how you would do it other than creating a new title block in Orcad.

Anyone else?

Gerber the drawing out, change it to DXF and import it in to Orcad?

It's probably faster to redraw it.

Can you import a DXF into Orcad Capture? I did not know that.

Of course, you would have to discard all the text since it will only be line segments. And you would still have to setup the new title block with attributes and text fields. Perhaps modify the existing title block "part" and change the lines using DXF input?

I would also be intrested in understanding how to import dxf into OrCad Capture. I consider myself a knowledgable user of OrCad, but I am not aware of how this can be done. (There's always room to grow)!
