Subject: [geda-user] [pcb-rnd] Mentor Graphics Design Capture netlist import support in pcb-rnd
To: geda-user <geda-user AT delorie DOT com>

An EDIF importer based on the s-expression parser used for Kicad
layout import has been implemented as a plugin to allow Mentor
Graphics Design Capture netlists to be imported into pcb-rnd.

The plugin was implemented by reverse engineering example files
supplied to the developers by a keen user of Mentor Graphics Design
Capture.

At this stage, flattened netlists need to be exported from the Mentor
Graphics Design Capture application.

The process for importing Mentor Graphics Design Capture netlists is
much the same as for any other netlist format; screenshots and further
details can be found at

http://vk5hse.blogspot.com/2017/03/importing-mentor-graphics-design.html

If any users would like to see a particular netlist format supported,
an example schematic and exported netlist should enable it to be
implemented as an import module quite quickly by the developers.
Please feel free to submit such examples for implementation.

Regards,

Erich
