PADS Professional Translator Process

1. Library conversion

1. Library conversion

PADS PRO Translator accurately converts library data from existing ECAD systems into the Siemens’ PADS library format. The symbol and part-related information, including footprints, in the library are converted while maintaining the accuracy of the original data, so that they can be used immediately in the PADS PRO design environment.

2. Parts Placement

2. Parts Placement

PADS PRO Translator precisely transfers the layout information of parts designed in the original ECAD tool to the PADS PRO format. The layout and coordinate information of the parts in the original design are maintained, allowing the design process to proceed smoothly without additional layout modification work.

3. Rule application

3. Rule application

PADS PRO Translator automatically converts and applies design rules defined in existing ECAD tools to PADS PRO design rules, thereby increasing the accuracy of data conversion. It reduces additional rule settings and checks within the PADS PRO design environment, and maximizes the efficiency and accuracy of data migration.

4. Routing & Fill

4. Routing & Fill

The PADS PRO Translator converts the routing paths and copper fill information defined in the original design to the PADS PRO environment without loss. It minimizes the need for additional routing & fill rework by maintaining the electrical connectivity and design intent of the routing and copper areas.
