Convert schematics and libs from orcad capture

Asked by Marcio Bottaro

Hi all. I'm a Nuclear Technology PhD and Electronic Engineer. I have many projects in Orcad Capture 10 and I would like to convert it in Kicad as many of my collaborators are using Kicad. I also developed many libraries in Orcad for SCH and PCB and it would be very interesting to convert then too. Our group need help.
Thank you so much.
Dr. Marcio Bottaro

I might be able to help with this on a contract basis.

Send me a personal email if you are interested.

If there is nothing illegal about reverse engineering the file format, that is one
concern. I am very good at the technical aspect of this, and you would need to lend me a
copy of that software.

Secondly, the cost of my time would need to be covered.

A good starting point for the format would be the Orcad user group here:
