14 olib is a simple automated converter from OrCAD v4 (in SDT version
15 1.10) ASCII parts library to gEDA component definition in .sym format
16 file. It allow an initial dumb conversion file to file, with one lib
17 converted in multiple .sym file, one per component in library. The
18 converted component file may need a little editing to become usable,
19 but in some case needs no editing at all. olib will write one file per
20 part in the current directory.
21
22 olib will:
23
24 · Convert box-shaped components in OrCAD lib to .sym file in gEDA
25 format;
26
27 · Place pin, pin name, pin type, pin number;
28
29 · Place logic bubble when needed (DOT attribute in OrCAD (TM), for
30 logic negation);
31
32 · Place clock arrow when needed (CLK attribute);
33
34 · Place reference, from REFERENCE statement in OrCAD;
35
36 · Place part name as label and device name as attribute;
37
38 · Parse and draw non-box component, with LINE, ARC, CIRCLE and
39 TEXT;
40
41 · Add power pin as invisible net=name:pin attribute when detected
42 (in OrCAD, invisible pin has typically T0 and B0 coords);
43
44 · Through a command line switch, hides pin name in VECTOR drawn
45 symbols, for a better appearance;
46
47 · Write both new (post-20020825) and old (20020209) file format
48 for .sym files through a switch on the command line;
49
51 filename
52 The OrCAD library to convert. This should have been previously
53 converted to ASCII format using the OrCAD 'decomp' utility.
54
55 prefix The prefix used to generate the filenames of the output gEDA
56 symbols e.g. prefix-partname-1.sym
57
59 olib has the following limitations:
60
61 · olib will not parse and store alternate component drawing
62 (statement CONVERT in OrCAD);
63
64 · olib will not handle drawing part using VECTOR list from another
65 part (statement VECTOR 'partname' in OrCAD);
66
67 · olib will not handle FILL statement in VECTOR statement (no
68 equivalent in gEDA);
69
70 · olib will not handle multiple part in one package (slots in
71 gEDA).
