[PEDA] PCAD Importing

[Diego Moreno]

Thank you for your response, the problem was that I used the Protel XP 
2002 to try to import v17 PCAD schematics and libraries when this 
version of Protel only imports up to v16 PCAD files.

All the best,

Diego Moreno

You must set the proper file type to reflect the type of file you are importing. (Note: I am using DXP 2004 SP4, so the supported version(s) may be different than your DXP 2002 SP2 install.)
