This option is available only when a *.PrjPcb file is selected.
Add Designs to Project – click to add a design(s) to the project. Reset Structure to Default – click to reset the PCB Projects structure to the defaults. Remove Selected Projects – click to remove the selected project from the PCB Projects structure. Rename Project – click to rename the selected project. Use the Create Project dialog to add a new project. Use the Browse Folder icon to search for and choose the Project Output Directory.Ĭlick Menu to access options to edit the project structure:Ĭreate Project – click to open the Create Project dialog to add a project. Use this page of the Wizard to review the output project structure and specify the output directory in which to import PADS PCB and PCB library files. Enable the checkbox to Rebuild All Internal Planes.Įnable the checkboxes of any desired additional Options. Specify the desired Plane Pullback Distance in the textbox. The Default PCB Specific Options page is used to set default options that pertain to both the PCB and PCB library import process.Įnable the options under Design Rules to specify which (if any) design rules to import. Under General Settings, enable the desired options: Log All Errors, Log All Warnings, and Log All Events.Įnable Do not translate hidden net names if desired. Use the Reporting Options page to set up general log reporting options. You can delete a selected file by clicking Remove. You can delete a selected file by clicking Remove.Ĭlick Add to choose which PADS library files to include in the process. 
If you only have binary PADS files, you will need to export these binary files into ASCII format from your PADS application, preferably in the ASCII 2005.2 format.Ĭlick Add to choose which PADS design files to include in the process. The Wizard only translates PADS ASCII versions 5.2 and above and does not read PADS binary files.
Ensure that the PADS option – part of the Importers\Exporters functionality set – is enabled on the Select Design Functionality page of the Altium Designer Installer. The PADS importer can be installed alongside all other importers and exporters as part of the initial installation of Altium Designer. The flexibility provided through the Wizard steps gives you control over the file translation settings before committing to the actual translation process. The Import Wizard removes much of the headache normally found with design translation by analyzing the imported files and offering defaults and suggested settings for the project structure, layer mapping, PCB footprint naming, and more. Translating Siemens EDA ® PADS™ software designs, including PADS Logic schematics, PADS Layout PCB files, and library files, can all be handled by Altium Designer's Import Wizard.
