Convert Allegro to PADs

tunghk1501

Prepare the Allegro design(s) for migration, as follows:
- Copy all data in the dictionary C:\MentorGraphics\9.4PADS\SDD_HOME\translators\skill_scripts into $HOME\pcbenv folder.
- Open the design file and in the Allegro command prompt window enter these command lines:
     Command> skill load “dfl_main” (include quotes)
     Command> main out
- Then, the Allegro to Wxpedition Translator box is appeared, click "Start One Way"
- When the SKILL script has completed, if any errors were found, fix them and rerun the SKILL script. The migration will not complete correctly if all errors      are not fixed.

Function is convert the PCB layout design from Allegro program to PADs Mentor program.
When the client need PADs file, we convert Allegro to PADs. That's all.
