Multi-CAD PCB Translator
Convert PCB data between Allegro, Xpedition, PADS, Zuken, and
more.
Libraries, placement, rules, and routing transfer precisely, so
there's less rework after conversion.
Convert PCB data between different ECAD tools
and connect it quickly
and accurately, with no design rework.
Each EDA tool has a different structure and format, causing
repetitive work when sharing data and integrating
designs.
Library, property, and layer data must be edited by hand after
conversion,
taking significant time for design verification and data cleanup.
Component information and design structure can be partially lost or
altered,
affecting design quality and work accuracy.
Efficiently convert ECAD data such as Allegro, Xpedition, PADS,
and Zuken
within a single environment.
Library, property, and layer information are preserved as-is,
reducing additional edits after conversion.
Design data is reliably connected even across heterogeneous ECAD
environments,
improving work efficiency and
design productivity.
Multi-ECAD Support
Connect PCB data from different ECAD environments and convert it efficiently, with no design rework.
Supported EDA Tools
Reliably convert PCB data between major ECAD tools for efficient data
integration,
even across heterogeneous design environments.

Process
From libraries to routing, every element of the design data is
systematically converted
so you can resume work immediately in the target ECAD environment.
Converts symbols, footprints, and component properties into the target ECAD format without loss,
so you can start designing right after conversion with no library rebuild required.
Transfers component position, rotation, and side data to the target environment exactly as designed,
eliminating relocation work and cutting post-conversion layout edits.
Converts clearance, trace width, via, and net-class rules into the target ECAD's rule system.
Even constraint data invisible on the canvas carries over, so you keep routing without resetting rules.
Transfers routing paths and copper fill to the target environment with electrical connectivity intact,
preserved under the converted rules, so little to no rework is needed afterward.
Workflow
Move heterogeneous ECAD data across tools with design intent intact, and resume work with no rework.
Load source files from Allegro, Xpedition, PADS, Zuken, and more, then choose the target.

Minimal reworkFAQ
In interCAD Editor, parts, nets, and routings are converted identically to the drawing before conversion.
On the other hand, Shape, Fill, Copper, and Reference may have slight differences depending on the unique characteristics of each PCB tool.
Just as you need the program and license of each tool when opening a file in interCAD Editor, you also need the program and license of the tool when converting.
For example, to convert from Allegro to Zuken, you need the program and license of both Allegro and Zuken.
As an exception, if the file you want to convert is in ASCII format (e.g. .asc file of PADS), you can convert it without a separate program.
Therefore, if you convert from Allegro to PADS and convert it to an .asc file, you can convert it without the PADS program or license.
