Electronics Forum / CAD / March 2008Market for a GenCad .CAD to .DXF convertor?
Is there a market for a GenCad .CAD to .DXF convertor? I've been asked to do a custom job to create a a GenCad .CAD to DXF convertor...in your opinions would there be a market for this in general?

As I understand it the use would be in production, not in the actual design phase. Easy to use graphics effects: http://www.ransen.com/ Typically DXF files are only used for transfer of ECAD information to mechanical CAD or alternate ECAD tools where there is no other transfer facility/format. As for the conversion of GenCAD to DXF, GenCAD is universally poorly accepted. It is much less accepted than ODB++. Now the IPC talks about a newer version of GenCAD, they just don't learn. The new version will probably be panned by most tools/users also.

I see no real use for Inventor or Solid Works, at the moment.

I don't know how well it works, though. Leon >The Pulsonix software I use can import DXF or Gerber files and export >GenCAD files, FWIW. I don't know how well it works, though. Pulsonix, thanks!
