Request: Can Nordic Semi save Altium SchDoc & PcbDoc in ASCII format?

[Michael M]

Only Altium can import Altium SchDoc and PcbDoc files saved in binary format. See www.orcad.com/.../OrCAD_Altium_Migration_Guide.pdf

Any possibilities of Nordic Semi saving the reference files in Altium ASCII format for the .SchDoc & .PcbDoc files so those of us with other than Altium might have access?

Hi,

We will look into this for future reference design releases.

For now you can sign up for a 15 days free Altium trial period. You can then follow the guide you linked to in your question, and convert the project files to ASCII format yourself. Note that we also provide gerber files, that you can import into most PCB design software tools. Also note that we also provide Eagle reference design at this github page.
