Zip it up and send it off and pray itвЂ™s all good.ДЄctually, shouldnвЂ™t I be praying before I send it off? Also вЂ“ old news from last year suggests better UI in EagleВ Г la AutoCad.

Finally! The board and schematic are connected.

Go through each error one by one thinking that there has to be a more efficient way.

ERC checks throw up a thousand errors, turns out naming conventions are all wrong.

Still no forward-backward annotation between the board and schematic, die a little inside.

I place all the symbols snugly in their schematic place.

I fill the symbol-less library in eagle with schematic symbols cobbled together from other libraries and edited to fit.

And well, I do know how to make a library, and IвЂ™m only missing symbols, not packages, so that should be relatively simple.

I decide I donвЂ™t really want to go through the hassle of a new software with so little time on my side. RachaelP on the e14 forums suggested trying the freeware version of Library Expert.

Consolidated all the components into a single library in Altium and exported that library into an.

The library is only populated with packages by the.

Found out all the components were missing in the schematic.

Slowly make my way through the silkscreen layer, adjusting fonts and sizes.

The board looks funky вЂ“ fonts and sizes were all screwed up after the conversion to Eagle friendly formats.

Export the schematic by selecting the SchDoc in Altium and File > Export > P-CAD V16 ASCII.

Export the board by selecting the PcbDoc in Altium and File > Export > P-CAD V16 ASCII.

And then still manually going through so many, so many ERC errors.

I end up populating the schematic with symbols from a variety of libraries, using the same techniques laid out nicely here. I think IвЂ™m better off creating the schematic from scratch.

Think like when you convert a scanned pdf to word but instead of converting the scanned images to text they appear as images in the word document. Follow the same steps for a board.Д«ut the imported schematics are mere images. Then follow the prompts on the dialog box. Basically If you wish to import a schematic, click on File/Import/Pcad, Altium, protel option.

This forum post helped shed some light onto how to import the files into Eagle. So itвЂ™s probably the P-CAD file I want right? Which one is the mythical ACCEL-ASCII format?!?! Wikipedia вЂ“ master of all trivia and important information вЂ“ helpfully provides the tidbit that P-CAD was sold to Accel, which was acquired by Protel which has been renamed to Altium. For instance, on AltiumвЂ™s documentation page, they state that you can export in the following variety for board exports alone. But also not that helpful when the Altium export drop-down menu offers a few different ASCII export options. If youвЂ™ve run into the same problem, your google results should have spit out something along the lines of this forum post which essentially says:ДЄltium can export PCB and schematic files as ACCEL-ASCII files. Trying to find any advice about converting this Altium project into something Eagle-usable has been a rather futile effort. Our partner sent it over in Altium, but thatвЂ™s unfortunately too expensive for a company that designs PCBs only rarely. IвЂ™ve been trying to get a PCB project to work in Eagle. But beware, thereвЂ™s no magical formula to it. I did that search in Google and found dozens of references to the problem,along with various suggested fixes and workarounds.

I will do some more testing and - if necessary - tinkering if there are still more problems.PSA: For the tl dr steps I used to import Altium files into Eagle, scroll all the way down. As the Protel publisher does not provide an updated version that works properly in Windows 7 (or Vista), I suggest you do a search for 'protel 99 se windows 7', using your favorite search engine. Save the changes, run Protel 99 SE, try loading a library, should work. A NOP instruction is 90 in hexadecimal, hence the change. Change all bytes from offset 2690E to 26917 (= a total of 10 bytes that need to be changed) to 90. So: get yourself a hex editor (I use 'HxD', it's free) and edit the 'Client99SE.exe' file. The call to SHGetPathFromIDListA does not do anything noteworthy, so I replaced all instructions related to that call with NOP instructions. The dialog gets confused and doesn't succeed in opening the file. But, a call to the windows function SHGetPathFromIDListA corrupts the memory where the filename is stored (it puts a zero where the string starts, which, in the null-terminated string world, means that the string is now suddenly empty).

The library dialog tries to concatenate the filename and path of the selected library file to obtain a full path to the library file that you want to add. Quote (Copy of GuntherVB's post) Ok, I just spent a long day debugging Protel 99 SE (Service Pack 6) in OllyDbg to solve the problem of not being able to load the library files in Windows 7 ('File not recognized').
