modification software required to open/change file with extension 000

Sorry I have no idea. Some idiot put the file with .000 extension on our company network and not the DSN file. Now I need to make some changes, I can't. Hence my original post.

have a squint at this

According to the diagrams on page 6, both outputs are source/sink. Something else is wrong.

Good luck.

They're much more complicated, you're better of with the ready-made programmable amplifier.

I mentioned that before... in my old OrCAD stuff, *.000, *.001, etc., are PostScript files.

If the file isn't proprietary, post it in abse. I might be able to spend half an hour playing with it this weekend.

I'm pretty busy until then.

It could be a print or plot file from Orcad.

It is highly likely that you are just screwed. Do you still have the computer that the "some idiot" used? If so, go look on it.

Thanks for the offer, but I cant do that for security reasons I have found that the 000 extension file is a plot file. I have contacted the guy who normally deals with this and he said he would try and get the editable circuit diagram for me.

Thanks for yours and everybody's help. It was very much appreciated.

How big is this file? It sounds like part of a larger file that's been split up, so there would be a file.000, file.001, file.002, and so on, that you would concatenate.

Or it could be a backup file.

Linux has a utility named, of all things, "file" [ ;-) ] , which will sort of examine any file, and report whatever it can glean from the file itself about what sort of file it is.

The other day I stumbled across a website about "file extensions," but all that would do for you is give you a list of things to rename it to to try it with various apps.

Do you have a website where you could upload the file so people could take a look at it?

Good Luck! Rich

Vague memories of an old DOS prog called Splitf, (and the associated Joinf). Used, as you say, to split big files into manageable chunks.

In DOS....

copy/b filename.000 lpt1

(where lpt1 is a PostScript printer)

Hi Rich

Thanks for your reply. I found out that the file is a plot file created from OrCAD and that it cannot be edited. I am now going to have to redraw the circuit. Its not large but will take a few days to do. Unfortunately, the company I work for will not allow me to upload the circuit.

Thanks again for your help.

This thread seems to have become lost and is running in circles. As I pointed out some time ago, old OrCAD Capture (SCHEMATIC) produced plot files *.000, *.001, etc., that were actually PostScript. They're easy to edit so you can print on modern printers. In the old days I even had a DOS batch file that processed them, and moved the origin all around, so I could produce 8.5"x11" _tiled_ E-size drawings.

I'm not sure if "Adobe" was there in the old days.

I believe so. I only use it for conversions since they f...d it over when they went to their own "windows" version.

I have a print driver, "Universal Document Converter", that can take almost anything (including scans) as input, and output just about any file format known to man.

Yep. In my DOS days I was quite adept at manipulating PostScript.

I vaguely recall either posting or E-mailing to someone all of my old OrCAD batch files.

If it's a Gerber plot file (you should be able to find a Gerber viewer that will confirm this), most PCB CAD software has Gerber import (sometimes as a cost option)

Look around the 'net for a Gerber viewer to try.

Gerber files are usually ASCII. You can look at the text of the file and see what it looks like. I think a Gerber identifies its self as such.

Ahhh. Can't have been paying attention. Postscript is the native printing system on this machine.

Postscript files should start "PS-Adobe-[version number] and any old text editor will view that to check.

Using ghostscript and pstoedit (free), the OP can turn his file into one of several editable formats. Will ORCAD import DXF?

I've even turned one or two of your posted PDF drawings into DXF that way, Jim.

Shame he can't post it. If it's proper Postscript, I could do it in ten minutes.
