The Files of Type selection allows different formats to be opened in addition to native Pulsonix binary files. If opening different file types, Pulsonix will automatically detect the format for you, this selection provides you with a filter if you are looking for something specific.
Each type is outlined below:
| Files Of Type | |
| All Design Files | Any of the design types listed below |
| PCB Designs (*.pcb) | Native Pulsonix binary PCB files |
| Schematic Designs (*.sch) | Native Pulsonix binary PCB files |
| PCB Footprints (*.pfp) | Native Pulsonix binary PCB symbol files |
| PCB Doc Symbols (*.pds) | Native Pulsonix binary PCB Doc symbol files |
| Schematic Symbols (*.ssy) | Native Pulsonix binary Schematic symbol files |
| Schematic Doc Symbols (*.sds) | Native Pulsonix binary Schematic Doc symbol files |
| Parts (*.par) | Native Pulsonix binary Part files |
| PCB Technology (*.ptf) | Native Pulsonix binary PCB technology files |
| Schematic Tech (*.stf) | Native Pulsonix binary Schematic technology files |
| Part Tech (*.pat) | Native Pulsonix binary |
| PCB Profile (*.ppr) | Native Pulsonix binary PCB profile files |
| Schematic Profile (*.spr) | Native Pulsonix binary Schematic profile files |
Other vendors supported ASCII formats. This list is dynamic and will be increased as further supported ASCII formats are added.
A Native Pulsonix binary means that the file format can only be read in by the relevant Pulsonix application.
The file extensions for the native files can be user defined from the options dialog.
Note on Library Files:
Where library symbol files are saved, these can be read into each of the relevant libraries although they can be saved direct to the library as well.
