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 and traces and Silk Screen 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, 2009 and 9.x ASCII files
