Remember, however, these documents will be written to the hard drive. When the DXP project is generated, any documents in the database without the proper extension (or no extension at all) will be lost. (The PCB library will not be automatically added to the library package, you can specify the search path to find the model.) DXP recognizes the document by the file extension. If there is only a schematic library in this folder and no schematic or PCB, a library package will be created, and the schematic library files in this folder will be added to the library package. If this folder contains schematics, net lists or PCB files, then a PCB project will be created, and all recognized design documents will be included in it (ie schematics, PCB and library files).

The type of item depends on the contents of each folder. A separate project file will be created for each folder containing at least one of these file types. When your 99SE database contains multiple types of documents-all of them are written to the hard disk in the first step-then only PCB, schematics, libraries and netlists are considered in the automatic project construction of the second step. Secondly, some nearby files are generated and opened in DXP, which is a project group file with several independent project files. First, the contents of all database files are placed in a new Windows folder (has the same name as the database file and stored in the same path). Make sure this operation starts a two-step process.

Simply open the database file in the DXP menu, and you can convert a 99SE database file into a project in DXP.

In addition, this article is only the first one, please refer to the next one for more content. In order to enhance everyone's understanding of circuit design software and protel, this article will introduce how to convert Protel 99se design into PCB projects in DXP based on this circuit design software. Among many circuit design software, protel is a commonly used one. Circuit design software is widely used, and modern circuit design cannot do without circuit design software.
