Will get back to you when I know more, but having chatted to these guys in the past: a) They have Altium b) They have bits in Altium already (footprints etc..) -> momentum. c) They need an auto-router which can handle really complex stuff. d) Blind / buried vias may be needed. No-one could in good conscience suggest PCB is going to be able to compete up with that sort of design. git HEAD rendering speed alone would make it prohibitive. > > How would the conversion be performed? > > That's obvious.

Not necessarily.. but whatever happens, it may well be beneficial to the community as a whole. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
