Protel How to use Protel with tips

Protel is the most widely used EDA software in the field of circuit design and manufacturing. in the standardized design management, the design document pattern must comply with the corresponding national standards, such as "Electronic product drawing Rules", "design document management drawing" and "printed board drawing" and so on, because Protel software is foreign software, can not directly print out in line with national standards of the drawings, The common way to standardize drawings is to set a fight, that is, in line with the national standards of the table and Chinese characters, such as hit on paper, and then put the paper into the printer, printed on the printed board with Protel, to form a standard document, but this practice is very low efficiency, and graphics often hit the bias, and sometimes even play counter.

The following introduces a simple method, that is, first of all, the printed board into the AutoCAD format, and then in AutoCAD in a one-time print out the standard drawings. In Protel can be exported to the PCB file as DXF format, and AUTO-CAD can be imported DXF file, so that Protel PCB files can be AutoCAD read.

Detailed process is as follows: first of all, in Protel will need to convert the PCB file into DXF file, and then run AutoCAD, import DXF file, and save it as DWG file, and then open the prepared in line with the national standards of the design file format table, the graphic paste into the table, moved to the appropriate location. This will be required for the printed board map in accordance with the national standard design file format for printing.
