How to convert a PADS .pcb type(binary) to Altium?

[metal312]

Hi guys.

I have a PADS .pcb binary type and i have tried to import it using Altium import wizard. But Altium just supports ACSII PADS files.

I wonder if there is any free soft can convert it for me?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

Hi metal312

You'll need to open the design in PADS and export it as an ASCII file. Altium will then read this file in quite easily.
We've looked for a free converter before and come up with nothing.
Sorry it's not better news.
We could do the conversion for you if you want to get in touch off line.
