api files and ade9x

Post by VulcanDriver »

Can ADE9X import api files? I have found lots of api libraries that I could use.

TIA

I think it's not directly possible. But I've find a solution and I use it since some times.

I convert API file with "ModelConverterX" to MDL format and add them to a new LibraryBGL file with "Library Creator XML". And after that I add normaly my new BGL Library in ADE.
