This dialog is used when when you are importing PADS PCB designs. It enables 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 upon.

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 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 other EDA systems layers to the Pulsonix layers specified in the technology files. If this is checked then Layer Mapping will be activated before the import starts.

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.

Text in PADS designs can use True Type Fonts or either of PADS own stroke fonts. You can choose to replace these PADS proprietary fonts a system supplied font. Check Replace PADS Stroke Fonts and select the font names in the two dropdown lists.
