Hello,
We have a schematic and PCB file which is in PCAD.
Do you know if I can import this (schematic and PCB) into Altium version 10.771.23139?

If so, can I extract the components footprints into Altium and make library components from it?

At the moment, I don’t seem to be able to open the SCM or PCB in Altium, also I don’t seem to be able to find a PCAD viewer.
Do you know where I can find one?
 

pcb-->FILE---> IMPORT WIZARD, Here press next button then ypu will get files to import, here you can select P-CAD designs and librarie files, and add files what ever you want import into ALTIUM. try this one, it can be help to you.

B.G. thanks but all those libraries and service packs require the installation of PCAD, and its not possible to find PCAD anywhere to download?
