| CAD Translation
|
 |
| Using CAMCAD, Alchemist,
or our proprietary software, TSS will translate the files from your CAD system to extract the net,
drill and x-reference information. |
|
The table below covers some of the
more common CAD systems.
Identify the company that manufactured the CAD system, the CAD system name and version,
and then provide the file(s) with the listed extensions.
