I'm trying to open BeagleBone's schematics for an OrCAD file in Linux, but EAGLE seems unable to do the job. What are some options?

There is no open source program to edit OrCAD files. That is such a small niche and depends on a proprietary file format that I wouldn't expect one to ever exist.

EEVblog suggested in 2012 that there were conversion tools in upverter, and DSN was on the list for future development.

You can install Free VMware Player, thus create a virtual machine with Windows XP or any other version of Windows.

Importing OrCAD Files
Working with Imported Documents

All Contents

Translating complete OrCAD^® designs, including Capture^™ schematics, Layout^™ PCB files, and library files can all be handled by Altium Designer's Import Wizard (to OrCAD version 16.xx). The Import Wizard removes much of the headache normally found with design translation by analyzing the imported files and offering defaults and suggested settings for the project structure, layer mapping, PCB footprint naming, and more. The flexibility provided through all the Wizard steps gives you as little or as much control as you would like over the file translation settings, before committing to the actual translation process.

Enabling the Importer

If the Importer was not already added during Altium Designer’s initial installation, it can be enabled in the Configure Platform page in Altium Designer’s Extension & Updates view. Select DXP » Extensions and Updates, the Configure link under the view’s Installed tab and then check the OrCAD option in the ImportersExporters section.

Importing OrCAD Files

The OrCAD design file importer is available through Altium Designer's Import Wizard (File » Import Wizard), where the option is selected in the wizard's Select Type of Files to Import page. The wizard provides page options for nominating both schematic/pcb design files and library files, and also OrCAD to Altium Designer PCB layer mapping options.

Directly opening an OrCAD file (*.dsn, *.max, *.olb, *.llb) in Altium Designer (File » Open) will activate the Import Wizard with that file already specified for import.

– See the OrCAD Design and Libraries Files entry in the Import Wizard page for more information on the wizard's import steps.

File Translation

The Import Wizard translates OrCAD design files as follows:

OrCAD Layout files (*.MAX) translate to Altium Designer PCB files (*.PcbDoc).
OrCAD Capture files (*.DSN) translate to Altium Designer schematic files, where each page within a .DSN file will be imported as a single Altium Designer schematic file (*.SchDoc). Design caches within a .DSN file will be imported as an Altium Designer schematic library (*.SchLib). Design hierarchy is maintained, including complex hierarchy.
The above files will be grouped into an Altium Designer PCB project (*.PrjPCB) that is automatically created.

OrCAD library files translate as follows:

OrCAD schematic library files (*.OLB) will be translated into Altium Designer schematic library files (*.SchLib).
OrCAD PCB library files (*.LLB) will be translated into Altium Designer PCB library files (*.PcbLib).
Translated OrCAD libraries are automatically grouped into one PCB project.

Migration from one tool to another is subject to the limitations of converting objects from the first tool to the importing tool. It is sometimes not possible to translate all object types. Altium regularly improves the Import Wizard's design file converters, so If difficulty is encountered during an Import, ensure that Altium Designer has been updated to the most current build. This may result in better version compatibility and more accurate imports.

PCB Layer Mapping

It is worth noting how layers are mapped between the imported PCB design and the resulting PCB layout in Altium Designer. Layer mapping is simply the relationship between the names of the 'foreign' PCB layers and Altium Designer PCB layers.

To support the batch import process of multiple designs, the Import Wizard offers a default Layer Mapping setup, which can be modified and saved as a text-based *.ini file. The mapping is used by the Import Wizard to build the layer mapping for each PCB in the imported design, so during the import of several PCB files, a saved mapping configuration file can be loaded and applied to individual (or all) PCB files.

The Wizard's default Layer Mapping setup can be modified and saved to a configuration file.

A previously saved Layer Mapping configuration can be loaded and applied to any or all imported PCB files.

The rationale here is that should you wish to import ten PCB designs and want to map the layer Assembly 1 to Mechanical Layer 1, each of the ten imported PCB designs would not have to be customized in order to achieve the desired layer mapping.

Working with Imported Documents

In OrCAD Capture all design work begins on the page, which is the logical working area of the design, and there can be multiple schematic pages within a single OrCAD schematic design file (*.DSN file). In Altium Designer, the logical design area begins with a document, and for each document there is a file stored on the hard drive.

This means that each Altium Designer schematic sheet (page) is represented by is schematic document file, which is a key conceptual differen
