I believe there is an ascii format option. Many years ago (before moving to pcb) I used Accel EDA (what PCAD used to be called) for the layout of a patch antenna with microstrip feed network. It was terribly suited for something like that where the layout is the circuit. I ended up writing an awk program which spit out an ascii file that Accel could read. My memory is that the file format was not documented but not too hard to figure out. > In the general case, the only way to translate schematics is to redraw > them.
