I think data is in a binary forma= t=2E

I would like to look at translate2coralEDA, can I download any= where?

Is the format binary or text?

ASCII conversion could be achieved with relatively low e= ffort in translate2coralEDA with a dedicated parser=2E

Binary conversion would require some form of= format description to work with=2E

If you are not in a hurry, I could implement a converter if pro= vided with sufficient information=2E

translate2coralEDA is the long planned refactor of translate2g= eda, with support for padstacks, polygons, arbitrary text +/- rotation and = arcs in footprints, when exporting to pcb-rnd, but export of a simpler feat= ure set is still possible for gEDA pcb=2E

Hi,

I am trying to convert an old PCB 68060 4 layer project from PCAD to
gEDA, the data from the header of the data files shows the version of:

Personal CAD Systems, Inc=2E

PC-CARDS Database file version : 2=2E08

Is there any way to convert the P-CAD project files=2E

I have tried Altium Designer, which is supposed have loadable P-CAD
import filters, but the data files I have are pre-date Altium's take
over of PCad=2E

From Web searches, I found the data files could be from Accel EDA/PC= AD
2000=2E

I have paper schematics and worse cause scenario, I will enter the
schematic by hand and re-create the PCB=2E
