Because of this Altium Designer's PCB design import process does not translate Xpedition PCB design rules.
The strategy for application of design rules is completely different between Altium Designer and Xpedition. To import a PCB design file, select the *.pcb file in the design structure's top-level folder to import a library file, select the *.lmc file in the library's top-level folder. The following notes summarize the functionality of the importer: Save Layer Mapping – select to open the Choose File to Save Layer Mapping dialog and choose the path in which to save the layer mapping. Load Layer Mapping – select to open the Load Configuration dialog to load the desired mapping files. Right-clicking in the grid region provides you with a sub-menu where you can: To group by a column, drag the column header into the area at the top of the table specified. If desired, you can edit the layer mapping for any or all Xpedition PCB designs or library files on this page of the Wizard. Importing Mentor Expedition Library FilesĬlick Add to choose which Xpedition library files (*.lmc) to include in the process. You can delete a selected file by clicking Remove. You can delete a selected file by clicking Remove. Problems during import are detailed in the *.log file report.Ĭlick Add to choose which Xpedition design files to include in the process. The user can then examine this list and create appropriate rules in Altium Designer. Instead, all of the Xpedition rule definitions are clearly enumerated in a section of the *.log file. Because of this, Altium Designer's PCB design import process does not translate Xpedition PCB design rules. 
To import a library file, select the *.lmc file in the library's top level folder.
To import a PCB design file, select the *.pcb file in the design structure's top level folder. Altium Designer's importer requires the entire folder/file structure to be intact to successfully import a PCB or library. In Xpedition, a PCB design or library does not exist as a single file, but rather, as a structure of interdependent folders and files. The following summarizes the import functionality:
