Anybody know if it is possible to convert CADStar 7.1 files to Protel99SE.
There are two posibilities I know of: 1. Use "Cadstar to Protel Converter" (by Steve Fallon) - you may find it in Files section of Yahoo Protel User's Group (you need to be a member to get to it): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/protel-users/files/ It converts Cadstar7 CDI format to Protel 2.8 or Autotrax PCB format. As far as I know it doesn't convert all entities correctly, but may be quite useful (and it's free). 2. Use Orcad Layout 9.x as an intermediate tool - it imports Cadstar CDI format and then, it may be imported to Protel. I haven't used it to any "serious" conversion but from my tests I can say that it works better than solution No.1 - playing a bit with Layers Matching may even improve the results.
