10.1.1 Transferring from Multicap to Ultiboard for PCB
Layout
One of the most common applications to which you may want to transfer data is a PCB layout
program. Ultiboard, also from Electronics Workbench, is one of the industry’s leading PCB
layout tools.
To transfer a circuit design from Multicap to Ultiboard, in order to perform a PCB layout:
1. Select
Transfer/Transfer to Ultiboard. A standard Windows Save As dialog box appears.
2. Specify the name and location of the file to be created and click
Save. Multicap creates
files that can then be loaded into Ultiboard.
3. Load the created files into Ultiboard, following the instructions in the
Ultiboard User Guide.
10.1.2 Transferring to Other PCB Layout Packages
If you are using a PCB layout package by a vendor other than Electronics Workbench, you
can create files in the necessary formats for transfer to the following third party layout
packages:
• Eagle
• Layo 1
• OrCAD
• PADS
• P-CAD
• Protel
• Tango
• Ultimate
To transfer the circuit design to a third party layout package:
1. Select
Transfer/Transfer to other PCB Layout. A standard Windows Save As dialog box
appears.
2. Navigate to the desired folder, enter a file name, choose the desired manufacturer from the
drop-down list and click
Save. Multicap creates a file of the appropriate format that can
then be loaded into the layout package of your choice.
