What is a PCBdoc file

The circuit board file is in PCBdoc format. What software is used to open it. I believe that everyone will often encounter this problem. For the convenience of friends who encounter the same problem, the editor will now introduce you in detail.

The PCB file with the PCBdoc suffix name will be opened by the high version proteDXP when you double-click on the left. The file saved as 4.0 can be opened by protel99SE, but the 99SE will be converted to generate a DDB file.

When you right-click the PCB file of PCBdoc, you can choose whether to open 99SE or DXP in the "Send to" column setting; the specific setting is to copy the shortcuts of 99SE and DXP to the Documents and Settings/user name/SendTo folder. .

The difference between Protel DXP and protel 99 SE

1.dxp is more powerful.

2. The schematic component library components in dxp directly bring up the corresponding package. There is no need to set up the package, of course, the package should be added to the component library designed by yourself.

3. The operation of dxp, especially the shortcut keys, is closer to the basic operations of windows, such as copying as ctrl+c, pasting ctel+v, and deleting is not trl+delete but directly using delete. It is more convenient that there is a stamp in dxp. It is as convenient to copy as in photshop.

4. In the dxp circuit board design, after converting the schematic diagram to the circuit board, there is no need to add the input solder pads of the power and ground, the software will directly add. The volume of 99SE is only tens of M, and the DXP has more than 600 M. This is the first thing One thing for sure is that the extra things are not too much. First of all, DXP can be used to design CPLD, FPGA, etc., but 99SE is not. Then on the interface, DXP is much more friendly than 99SE, and beginners use DXP than 99SE to get started. Much easier. Again, the times are advancing, and more and more users use powerful DXP. Many SCHDOC files and PCBdoc files that you download on the Internet cannot be opened by 99SE.

5.Dxp design is not to create a database first, but to create a file separately.If you want to associate the schematic with the circuit board, you must establish a circuit board project project.
