CADSTAR DATA

Data Set	Type	Description
LIBRARY	PRT	The part libraries. You should only supply the part libraries that need to be migrated.
LIBRARY	SCH	The Schematic symbol library that is exported to archive format (csa).
LIBRARY	PCB	The PCB Component library that is exported to archive format (cpa).
LIBRARY	DOC	The documentation symbol library. These are the required symbols that are added to SCH and PCB designs. The designs are exported to archive format (csa/cpa).
TEMPLATES	SCH	The Schematic template designs that are exported to archive format (csa).
TEMPLATES	PCB	The PCB template designs that are exported to archive format (cpa).
DESIGNS	SCH	The Schematic designs that are exported to archive format (csa).
DESIGNS	PCB	The PCB designs that are exported to archive format (cpa).

eCADSTAR DATA

Data Set	Type	Description
LIBRARY	TECH	The technology library that is created by the master library migration. It is populated with data from the template design migration from CADSTAR PCB.
LIBRARY	RULE	The design rule library that is created by the master library migration. It is populated with data from the template design migration from CADSTAR PCB.
LIBRARY	SCH	The schematic symbol library that is created by the master library migration. This is populated with documentation symbols during the migration process.
LIBRARY	FTP	The Footprint library that is created by the master library migration. This is populated with documentation symbols during the migration process.
LIBRARY	PRT	The Part library that is created by the master library migration.
TEMPLATES	SCH	The schematic template designs that are migrated for use as template designs in eCADSTAR Schematic Editor.
DESIGNS	SCH	The Schematic designs that are migrated to eCADSTAR, and aligned with the master library in eCADSTAR.
DESIGNS	PCB	The PCB designs that are migrated to eCADSTAR and aligned with the master eCADSTAR library.
