The update changes from schematic to PCB functionality of AD allows the logical connectivity (appearing as ratsnest in PCB view) between components to remain intact after importing. This functionality may come in handy, especially for some legacy design practices whereby the PCB and schematic document were created in two different platforms (i.e., PADS layout and PADS logic). Altium / Protel is a CAD package for the design of printed circuit boards. DDB file is a Protel 99SE Design Database. The component links of Altium Designer allow the user to link the components in PCB and schematic based on designator, footprint used, or both. The DDB data files are related to Altium Designer. The import wizard embedded within AD allows import of both the PCB and schematic files while keeping both of the files synchronized with one another. They recently decided to choose Altium Designer, mainly due to its superiority in creating assembly and fabrication outputs such as Gerber and NC drill files, while maintaining company standards through Altium’s outjobs. has legacy design files in Protel 99SE (.DDB) format which they would like to migrate into AD14. The ddb file extension is related to the Protel (also known Altium Designer), a software for Microsoft Windows, which allows users to create PCB designs.
