Well its been awhile. But, these steps may work for this situation. However, no guarantees here thou! 1- All the parts that need translated must be first placed onto a design file in PADS first. 2- get an PADS 5.0 ASCII file of that design file. 3- import the ASCII into the Allegro or OrCAD's PCB.Editor. Hopefully, it will translate correctly and you should see the parts. 4-. Do an Export library within the PCB.Editor to create a library of the converted parts. 5- Set your library path to point to your newly created library to gain access of the parts you need. Good luck
