Translate PADS PCB, Protel, OrCAD and P-CAD to CADSTAR with New Migration Tools from LogicSwap and Zuken
Migrating designs and libraries into CADSTAR, from incumbent EDA tools has just become easier with the launch of new migration tools by LogicSwap, Zuken's preferred provider for CADSTAR migration software. Schematics, libraries and PCB designs can be moved into Zuken's desktop-based PCB design suite, CADSTAR, from Cadence Allegro and Orcad, Mentor Graphics PADS (PCB only), and Altium Protel and P-CAD; without having a negative impact on design schedules.
The two companies have been working together now for over six years to help users realize the benefits of CADSTAR in shorter time frames at minimal costs. This is the latest significant development between EDA interface provider LogicSwap and Zuken, since the launch of the migration tool for P-CAD to CADSTAR in February 2005.
"We are constantly working to support the latest CADSTAR functionality. Doing so allows our solutions to migrate and maximize the integrity of the designs once in CADSTAR" said Dilip Patil, President of LogicSwap Solutions, part of DSP Inc.
"Gone will be the days when people rule out the notion of moving to a new PCB design tool like CADSTAR because of issues associated with losing design data or having to maintain the historical design environment. Users can move all the data over to CADSTAR from previous designs to enable them to re-use symbols, footprints and other supporting design data, and in addition, benefit from the flexibility to rework old designs originally created in the legacy tool within CADSTAR," commented Jeroen Leinders, Zuken's CADSTAR Distribution Manager.
