Hi all,

I'm working on a new board which is based on a reference design
published in Mentor PowerPCB/PADS format.  The reference design has some
fairly precise routing (DDR2, delay-matched traces) that is a bit beyond
my experience, and I'm not confident about routing it from scratch.

What I'm hoping to achieve is either to import the reference design into
PCB, or at least overlay each layer so I can trace over it with PCB.  I
haven't used PowerPCB/PADS before, but I do have limited access to it so
I can export the reference in whatever format may help.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,
Chris
