5 \- OrCAD(tm) library part to gEDA .sym converter
13 is a simple automated converter from OrCAD v4 (in SDT version 1.10)
14 ASCII parts library to gEDA component definition in .sym format
15 file. It allow an initial dumb conversion file to file, with one lib
16 converted in multiple .sym file, one per component in library. The
17 converted component file may need a little editing to become usable,
18 but in some case needs no editing at all.
20 will write one file per part in the current directory.
25 Convert box-shaped components in OrCAD lib to .sym file in gEDA format;
27 Place pin, pin name, pin type, pin number;
29 Place logic bubble when needed (DOT attribute in OrCAD (TM), for logic
32 Place clock arrow when needed (CLK attribute);
34 Place reference, from REFERENCE statement in OrCAD;
36 Place part name as label and device name as attribute;
38 Parse and draw non-box component, with LINE, ARC, CIRCLE and TEXT;
40 Add power pin as invisible net=name:pin attribute when detected (in OrCAD,
41 invisible pin has typically T0 and B0 coords);
43 Through a command line switch, hides pin name in VECTOR drawn symbols,
44 for a better appearance;
46 Write both new (post-20020825) and old (20020209) file format for .sym files
47 through a switch on the command line;
52 The OrCAD library to convert. This should have been
53 previously converted to ASCII format using the OrCAD 'decomp' utility.
56 The prefix used to generate the filenames of the output gEDA symbols e.g.
60 has the following limitations:
63 will not parse and store alternate component drawing (statement CONVERT in
67 will not handle drawing part using VECTOR list from another part (statement
68 VECTOR 'partname' in OrCAD);
71 will not handle FILL statement in VECTOR statement (no equivalent in gEDA);
74 will not handle multiple part in one package (slots in gEDA).
