Tools and Services to Migrate Electronic CAD Designs to CadSoft EAGLE

April 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Stratford, ON :: Stratford Digital is pleased to announce the release of a new family of tools and services to migrate designs from all major CAD tools into CadSoft EAGLE. The first standalone tool will convert schematic and PCB designs from the obsolete PCAD platform to EAGLE. Upcoming releases will support design and library conversions from other major CAD tools.

Standalone Tool

The standalone tool is a windows executable that will convert existing PCAD designs into a native EAGLE format. Any features that may not translate perfectly into EAGLE are highlighted for the user to review.

One of EAGLE's great features is the ability to scale the license cost with the design complexity. These tools will follow the same principle with two versions to match the capabilities of EAGLE: Standard and Professional. Users with less complicated designs will benefit from a lower cost for the conversion tool.

E-mail us for more information on this and future standalone tools.

Conversion Service

This conversion is also being provided as a service. This would benefit those who:

   - Aren't interested in the details of a complicated conversion
   - Don't have the bandwidth to perform such a conversion
   - Are converting out of a CAD tool without a standalone conversion tool.

Conversion services are offered from all major CAD platforms:

Allegro
Altium
BoardStation
Cadence
CADSTAR
CR-5000
Expedition
Orcad Layout
PADS
Protel
Visula

E-mail us to obtain a quote for a conversion into EAGLE. A copy of the schematic and PCB will be needed for an accurate quote.

Our partners at LogicSwap have many tools and services to convert between other major CAD tools. To obtain a quote for a general CAD to CAD conversion, not including EAGLE, contact LogicSwap directly via e-mail.
