<br>
I am trying to convert an old PCB 68060 4 layer project from PCAD to <br>
gEDA, the data from the header of the data files shows the version of:<br>
<br>
Personal CAD Systems, Inc=2E <br>
<br>
<br>
PC-CARDS Database file version : 2=2E08<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there any way to convert the P-CAD project files=2E<br>
<br>
I have tried Altium Designer, which is supposed have loadable P-CAD <br>
import filters, but the data files I have are pre-date Altium's take <br>
over of PCad=2E<br>
<br>
From Web searches, I found the data files could be from Accel EDA/PC=
AD <br>
2000=2E<br>
<br>
I have paper schematics and worse cause scenario, I will enter the <br>
schematic by hand and re-create the PCB=2E<br>
