PADS ASCII Modeler

The PADS ASCII Modeler reads PADS ASCII data, transparently formats it into IDF data and creates a 3D Assembly. This enables you to create a 3D PCB assembly.

It also allows you to create a PADS ASCII file from your assembly. This allows you to start a PCB design in your mechanical design package.

This provides PADS users who do not have the PADS IDF Link with the ability to create 3D Assemblies of their PCB's.

Features:

• Same ease of use as with the IDF Modeler
• All IDF Modeler Import features are supported
• Converts PADS keepouts into IDF Keepouts
• Includes the ability to model copper pads in the 3D assembly - this is a feature that is not possible with standard IDF
• Available for SolidWorks, Inventor and Solid Edge
• Supports PADS V5, 2005, 2007 and 2009 ASCII files
