In P-Cad2004, I completely forgot how to convert the schematic into PCB (I used PCAD for more than 20 years ago).

Only what I remember, in the p-cad schematic,, "Utils> Create Netlist" and "Utils> Load Netlist" on p-pcad PCB .

I have "P-CAD 2002 PCB Design" PDF document.
I'm working on the file they gave as an "example", but I always get errors on my files.

Screen Error: Netlist (file name) not loaded
And error files contains all component
(include Library information was checked) during netlist generation in schematic

And I still haven't succeeded, if you can help, it will be appreciated.

Do you have component library ".lib"(symbol + pcb footprint) available? If YES, then open PCAD PCB and add library first (Library => Setup => Add Library)... then only load netlist.

Without any library setup, it won't load components in PCB.
