Danger, Danger will Robinson! P98 to P99SE: A few patches, additional Mech layers, new rules, new capabilities, different ways of handling some existing functionality, etc., etc..
To export from DXP/AD to P99SE, use the save as function and file extension *.PCB (version 4). Be warned, exporting from DXP/AD to P99SE can/will loose some rules and other capabilities that were added to DXP/AD and just weren't around/available in P99SE. (i.e. polygon cutouts, rules that just weren't available in P99SE and may effect a lot of the design.) It may look the same until you actually repour items, do a DRC, etc. in P99SE. But there is absolutely no truth to the 'rumor' that P98 is closer to DXP than P99SE, just the opposite. Just think about it.

Our DXP, I think, is something like 6.3. The "about" menu tells me it is DXP2004. I'll have to check with the systems guy to be sure.

In a pinch I could try loading your DXP design into AD6.7 and than save it as file version 4. However, I haven't done this a lot and so cannot vouch that everything would make it through intact. You'd still have to look it over in P99SE. I think it would be better if you could go directly from DXP to P98SE as they are much more closely related. ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
