Responding to: ???'s previous message

So these Eagle schematics have come from some 3rd party, and you just want to convert them for your use in Protel?

Could you just contact the originator of the schematics, and ask them to provide them in a suitable format?

Richard seems to be suggesting that anything you get out of Eagle is likely to be unusable anyhow, so you might as well just re-draw it in Protel...?




Yes the designer who designed for us earlier was in Eagle format, I am familier with Protel / Altium . The eagle software is too weak to handel autorouting and other such operations , I tried working with Eagle but its very laborious and inefficient software for larger circuits.
There is a ULP that can convert Eagle PCB files to Protel PCB , so it cannot be that whatever comes out of eagle is un-usable. As Erik stated , There are issues with Error and faulty circuit connections if we tend to redraw from scratch which is true, whatever one do something is always left in the first prototype :) .
