Scott,

Yes, I use the "Import- CAD data- PADS" option. Currently, the PADS-Perform
ascii out is the one that imports to CAM350 with little trouble (copper pours
can cause errors at times). Once the file is in CAM350, select "Export-
Netlist" and select the IPC-D-356 button, apply any screening filters and
run. One thing you may need to do after the file is generated is edit the
file header to tie it to the board number / revision, etc.
