This dialog is used when when you are importing PCB designs from Accel or P-CAD. It enables you to change the default name that you want the imported design to be called. You can also choose to use a technology file to base the design on.

Design This is the name that will be used as the basis of the filename when you save the design.

Technology This drop down list can be used to choose a technology file to base the imported design on. You do not have to base it upon a technology file, as some vendors ascii file hold complete technologies. You can select [None] to specify no technology.

If you have selected a technology you can use check Use Layer Mapping which will allow you to map the P-CAD layers to the Pulsonix layers specified in the technology files. If this is checked then Layer Mapping will be activated before the import starts.

Some users use shapes from a specific layer in P-CAD as keepouts. Check All Shapes as Keepouts on Layer to enable this. And enter the P-CAD layer number in the edit control.

Sometimes when tracks are imported they do not always exactly start or end at an appropriate connect point. Check Auto Weld Tracks to try and force them to start or end on a connect point.
