 		 #146383 - Whatever happened to EDIF?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Joseph Hebert said:
The problem is that there is no standard format for captured schematic data.

Why am I not surprised to hear that...?

Wasn't EDIF supposed to be a standard interchange format?

Every EDA package has its own proprietary netlist format.

So take the "plural" version of my question:
what are the most widely accepted formats for interchange of EDA data?


Isn't there a (relatively) small set that will cover the majority of users?

Or a de facto standard - like DXF for mechanical CAD?
