PADS Translator Process

1. Library conversion

1. Library conversion

PADS Translator precisely converts library data from existing ECAD tools into Siemens' PADS Library format. Data such as symbols, footprints, and part properties are maintained in perfect sync with the original during the conversion process, and can be used directly in the PADS design environment immediately after conversion.

2. Parts Placement

2. Parts Placement

PADS Translator accurately transfers the completed component layout information from the existing design tool to the PADS format. It perfectly maintains the layout information and coordinates of the original design, allowing you to quickly proceed to the next step without additional layout adjustment work after conversion.

3. Rule application

3. Rule application

PADS Translator automatically converts and applies design rules defined in existing ECAD systems to the Siemens PADS Design Rule format. This ensures that data immediately satisfies design rules in the PADS environment, and simplifies additional rule checking or supplementation tasks, improving design efficiency.

4. Routing & Fill

4. Routing & Fill

PADS Translator converts routing paths and copper fill areas defined in the original ECAD design into the PADS environment without data loss. It maintains the electrical connectivity and copper area characteristics of the original design, minimizing the need for re-configuration or rework of routing and fill operations.
