PCB Translations

The matrix chart (below) lists the current PCB translation combinations. The column titled "IMPORT Modules" lists all ECAD files that can be imported (read). In the row immediately under the "EXPORT Modules", the files that can be exported (write) are listed. Any combination within this matrix of import and export modules can be utilized for translation.

IMPORTANT: No ECAD to ECAD translation is perfect. Each combination has its own unique issues and limitations. RSI is currently constructing pages that will provide details of these issues and limitations. Any combination with an "X" in the box indicates there is a linked explanation already available.
