Hello All,
There is a netlist button that seems to offer to export the net lists in OrcadPCB2 format. See attached snapshot for reference. But after creating the netlist, my layout guys say that the netlist does not seem to be able to be successfully imported into Allegro even though third party or ORCAD CIS import.
Does anyone have any success with creating a netlist from EESCHEMA? Is there some other alternative or technique?
Any help is much appreciated.

Someone wrote an “orcad RINF” netlist -> kicad eeschema netlist converter in about 260 lines of C:
and an updated version
This would suggest that the reverse task shouldn’t be too hard.
There is also an Orcad EDIF to Kicad translator
which may be a good source of ideas for the reverse conversion, and seems to include examples which could be good for comparison.
An interesting challenge.
Cheers,
Erich.
Hi ErichVK5,
Thank you for the info and the suggestion. My question is however about an existing net listing facility in KiCAD. Is it just me or nobody has noticed that the Netlisting from KiCad to Orcad format does not work? Or am I missing something completely here?
