First of all apologies, I am a Cadence user, well for the SI tools
anyway. Anyway a sister company uses pantheon as there layout tool,
but I have been asked to simulate the Power delivery network for there
boards. I need to be able to import the pantheon data bases into the
cadence Allegro PCB SI tools top do this. I am aware that it is
possible to export Mentor and then import into Cadence, but I was
wondering if anybody had a more direct route. I need more than just
dumb etch, which I can get by importing a specctra router DSN file, I
need net names and ref designators so that the Cadence tools
understand what is an IC, capacitor, inductor ect.
