Hi Barb,

Two places I would try are Circuitest and Router Solutions. Circuitest 
provides translators as well as a service bureau that tranlates your CAd file 
for a fee, typically $250.00 on a 24 clock hour turn. They also test boards
as well as manages the in-house bare board test facilities for several 
companies. The contact is:

            Duane Delfosse
            41 Simon Street
            Nashua, NH 03060
            Tel  603-882-2621
            FAX  603-595-7816
            E-mail  [log in to unmask]

Duane is also chairman of the IPC-D-356 committee for IPC.

Router Solutions also sells translators: They are located:

            Router Solutions, Inc.
            180 Newport Center Drive, Suite 240
            Newport Beach, CA 92660
            Tel 714-721-1017
            FAX 714-721-1019
  
            Sales 1-800-766-1230

Hope this helps

Hello,

We are looking for software that converts PADS\Power PCB files to
IPC-D356 Format, which is then  used by  the PC Board house for
BARE BOARD TESTING.  If anyone has some information on this
type of conversion software, please send a message, thanks.  Barb
