Export PADS
EasyEDA Pro supports exporting files in PADS 9.5 format.
Disclaimer
- Due to differences in format design and graphic elements, we cannot guarantee that the exported PADS files will be completely consistent (especially regarding text size and position). Please be sure to carefully check the files after opening them in PADS. Do not place an order without checking. EasyEDA Pro does not guarantee the absence of any errors!!!
- EasyEDA Pro will not be responsible for any losses caused by library errors and format conversion errors!!! If you do not agree, please do not export to PADS!!!
- If you are going to place an order for PCBs, it is recommended to generate Gerber files.
- Please do not repeatedly export your schematic or PCB in PADS format and then import it back, as this operation may result in loss of details.
- If you find significant discrepancies between the exported file and the original design, please contact us and we will do our best to correct them. https://prodocs.easyeda.com/en/faq/contact-us
- If you are exporting a library file, please make sure to open the export in Google Chrome on a computer equipped with a graphics card (opening a PCB or footprint requires graphics card support).
Procedure
Entry: Top Menu - File - Export - PADS. Or: Top Menu - Export - PADS.


After clicking "PADS", the following window appears.
