Altiumr To Xpeditionr Translator User Guide Exclusive [2021] -

The Altium to Xpedition Translator User Guide provides a technical, four-step framework for migrating design data, focusing on library translation and constraint preservation. While effective for maintaining data integrity, successful adoption requires rigorous pre-translation cleanup and navigation of a steep learning curve. Insights on the conversion process are available via Siemens Community.

Example Script Snippet (VB.NET)

Sub TranslateAltiumToXpedition(altiumProjPath As String)
    Dim translator As New AltiumImporter
    translator.InputFile = altiumProjPath
    translator.OutputDir = "C:\Xpedition_Projects\Converted"
    translator.LayerMapFile = "Standard_Altium_To_Xpedition.csv"
    translator.Run()
    ' Post-process: renumber components
    Dim pcbDoc As IPCBDocument = translator.OutputPCB
    pcbDoc.RenameComponents(RenameMode.BoardOrder)
End Sub
