What are the schematic symbols in OrCAD to KiCad?
I am looking into a reference design which was probably done using Orcad. I am using KiCAD for my design. In the reference design, there are schematic symbols like >> and <<. According to this guide, they seem to be ‘off-page connector’. The guide says
How to import OrCAD schematics to KiCad netlist?
I have a program that converts ORCAD netlist to Kicad netlist and that allows me to use Kicad for PCB design from Orcad schematics. This is not exactly what you were asking for but I am not sure if Orcad sch. to Kicad sch. exists. There’s any tool for make this change?
How are off page connectors used in KiCad?
I am using KiCAD for my design. In the reference design, there are schematic symbols like >> and <<. According to this guide, they seem to be ‘off-page connector’. The guide says “Off-page connectors are used to connect signals to like-named off-page connectors and hierarchical ports on other schematic pages within the same schematic folder. ”
