Re: CAD tools compatibility ?

Hi,

We are looking for a new CAD system, mainly for the schematic phase as our
routing is 99% subcontracted. Our subcontractors are using mid to high range
products (PADS, Protel or CADSTAR). So the question : Do you know if these
tools are able to import a schematic designed with a lower cost CAD tool
(say Eagle or Proteus/Isis for example) ? I guess that the netlist could be
imported but I would like to know if the schematic itself can be imported
too.

Many thanks for your advices,
Robert

FWIW, Pulsonix imports schematic, PCB and library files from:

P-CAD (*.PDF)
Cadstar Schematics (*.CSA)
PADS Logic (*.NET)
P-CAD (*.PDF)
Accel EDA (*.NET)
UltiCAP (*.SCH)
Protel (*.ASC)
OrCAD (*.EDF)
Eagle SCM (*.EIS)
