Colleagues,
I’m sure some of you have had a problem similar to mine in the past.
One more circuit designer and I are working on the same project. Unfortunately we are armed with different packages for schematic capture. He’s using Protel 99, and I’m using OrCAD Capture CIS 9.2 (I’ve used Protel 2004 in the past too). He have sent me a *.SCH file, but I can’t seem to open it with OrCAD.
Here’s what’s happening.
1. I fire up OrCAD Capture.
2. File -> Open -> Design…
3. Choose file type: SDT schematic (*.sch)
4. Provide a *.SCH file name and click Open.
5. OrCAD asks me for the name of the *.DSN file to save the translated design to.
6. Provide a *.DSN file name and click Save.
7. OrCAD outputs the following errors:
What am I doing wrong? Is the problem in the *.SCH file? Is the problem in OrCAD?
Thanks,
Nick
